Didn't know i was pregnant

I am seeing my dr next week to see how far along i am. I got off the pill and didnt get my period for 3 months. Each month i would take a test and they were negative the first 2 months.  I drank on several occasions throughout that time period. Did this happen to anyone else? Im worried about the alcohol and curious to hear what other doctors have told women in the same position. Im estimating that im 3-6 weeks pregnant. Thanks

Due to false negative pregnancy tests because of pcs I didnt find out until i was 4 months (17 weeks) in! To make matters worse i was in mega party mode prior to finding out. I felt awful when i found out, knowing i had been drinking and smoking until then. Im now 28 weeks and thankfully she is developing perfectly. Obviously its not ideal to be drinking but its not like it was intentional. And as long as you stop, im sure everything will be fine :)

Usually, things go okay - obviously it's time to stop, take prenatal vitamins and focus on tons of water and good nutrition.  My 1st, I was in a car accident and was taking heavy pain meds until I found out. He turned out healthy and fine but I never drank or anything after I found out.

I had some drinks early on before I knew I was pregnant and although not ideal it happens. Also I wouldn't recommend drinking at all now that you know you're pregnant.
