drinking before knowing

Has annoy else had a couple of drinks before finding out they were pregnant? I've been so worried because I drank a couple of times before I find out!! Never got drunk but once I drank two big Margaritas from Chilis. I'm worried and mad at myself.

I drank before I found out, I got tipsy a couple times the first 2 1/2 weeks. Found out I was pregnant around 3 weeks. Im now 37 weeks and my little man is fine (: I was a little thing before I got pregnant so it didnt take much for me to feel that buzz but no worries you are fine just no more of course (:

My sister didnt kow she was pregnant until she was 15 weeks and she was getting drunk almost every night. Now her son is 2 yrs old and he is fine. i wouldnt worry about it. i drank a half of glass while i was 9 weeks pregnant on my honeymoon. and i knew i was pregnant. but i did red wine because they say its fine to drink a glass of red wine. NOTE: i felt bad for doing it after half the glass so i passed on it. You fine though!

I found out I was pregnant exactly 1 week after my 24th birthday where I was SUPER DRUNK. But my doctor told me not to stress it because it probably caused no harmn because at the time I was only like 3 or 4 weeks along.

I had a 2 drinks very early on. I never had pregnancy symptoms so I didn't know either. plus I never got wasted either or was a drunky. Dr said baby should be fine as long as that was it. I haven't picked up a drink again.

Also don't be too hard on yourself. Lots of women get hammered during pregnancy. You definitely didn't do that! And the fact that ur worried so early is a sign u will b a great mommy!!

I had not drank while breastfeeding but my hubby was taking me out for my bday so I pumped extra for the sitter to feed the baby and we went out and I got sidewalk licking drunk. Like so drunk that I had to bottle feed baby the next day(and she hated the bottle) because I was still drunk in the morning. Next thing ya know I'm like what happened to my period? And boom! Im pregnant. I hope everything's fine but I don't know for sure. Just gotta be safe the rest of the pregnancy. :) I'm sure your baby is alright. I recommend refraining during pregnancy because alcohol passes thru the placenta to the baby. Your blood alcohol is baby's blood alcohol and the tiny liver cannot break alcohol down.

I wouldn't worry about it at all, there are people that drink through their whole pregnancies or drink for MONTHS hardcore and not know.. (definitely wouldn't advise either haha!) I'm sure your little one is just fine! :)
