alcohol

So Saturday night (4 nights ago) I drank one beer and had three pudding shots. I just found out tonight that I am pregnant but very early maybe 3-4 weeks. Just wondering if that could've harmed my baby?

You're fine, I didn't know that I was pregnant on my 21st birthday and drank an unmentionable amount of liquor that night. I was unknowingly 4 weeks pregnant by then and didn't find out until 2 weeks later that I was pregnant. When I did find out, I had stopped which truly matters. You'll be okay. ;)

I got flat out drunk one night and realized I was about 5 weeks pregnant and I told my doctor and she said not to drink anymore but not to stress it out.

I drank on a long weekend at the beginning of August and didn't find out until a few weeks later that I was 5/6 weeks pregnant. So I would have been 3/4 weeks pregnant at the time. I am now 38 weeks along with a healthy baby girl :)

I found out at 4 weeks with my first and was going to a lot of parties to drink until I found out. You're so early I'm sure you found out in time to stop and take care of yourself. Ask your doc for peace of mind but I know people that drank their whole pregnancies (sadly) and their kids are completely healthy with no side effects (thank god)

You can ask your doctor when you go see em. I wouldn't think it caused damage as long as you didn't get wild knock out drunk. I would suggest stay away from the alcohol now that you know. Because it can harm baby drinking during pregnancy. Especially now this is the time that everything is developing and drugs and alcohol can cause damage from all kinds of things. But if you just drank that one time and your 3-4 weeks the embryo  would be 1-2 weeks. So when you did drink it would of been around the fertilization and implanting stage.
