Some women don't know they are pregnant for months. Your baby will be fine. I was very drunk at least 2 nights a week for the first month. My baby is fine.
What if I drank alcohol before I knew I was pregnant?
If you were not aware that you were pregnant and drank alcohol, the best thing you can do now is STOP drinking. The sooner you quit, the better. If you stop drinking now, the chances of damage are decreased.
The current guidelines in most countries suggest that a maximum of one unit per day be consumed.
How do you measure a unit of alcohol
One unit of alcohol can be measured by:
A half pint (25cl) of beer, lager or cider
A small glass of wine or sherry
A single small measure of spirit or liquor
Don't worry you and the baby are fine.... Good luck!

well with my son I didn't know I was pregnant until I was 5 months pregnant this was my 3rd child and I drank every Friday night. My doctor said to me when I broke down crying that I drank every Friday night, just think of what women in the old days did before we knew the effects of alcohol and that the baby should be fine because it wasn't like I was drinking every night and not to feel bad because I didn't know I was pregnant. This didn't really make me feel any less guilt but she was right my baby boy was and is as healthy as can be. This is not my way of condoning drinking while pregnant especially if you know you are pregnant but it is unlikely that if you only did it once it is gonna hurt the baby.

You can't do anything about it now...Don't worry. Just be on your best from now on. I feel pretty sick too. I just found out I am pregnant yesterday. I didn't drink, so your symptoms probably have nothing to do with the beer. Good Luck! and keep healthy!

Hey Congrats on being pregnant! Don't beat yourself up, I did the same thing with my first. A lot of people do (they just don't like to admit it.) Think of your last beer last night as your celebratory drink and stay away from the alcohol until after the baby is born (unless you plan on breast feeding).

Don't worry so much. Women end up doing some crazy things before they figure out they're pregnant. If you worry too much, the stress can make you ill or could possibly cause problems. Just be sure to take good care of yourself and your baby, from here on out. Good luck to you!

if it helps i was on pain killers until the day i found out and my Dr. put me back on them in my last trimester and i had a very healthy girl 6 lbs9 oz. and perfect aspire test. so don't feel guilty unless you knew , but even if so don't make it a habit.....
some Dr.s are OK with a glass of wine or 2 during dinner.
i hope i helped...i just don't sugar coat anything. CONGRATS.......

maybe u shudn't have drank so much, and i wudn't feel guilty b4 i found out i was pregnant i was drinking every night and going out clubbing way too much. i drank to where i was smashed, my bub is fine!! i am also a type 1 diabetic so i have more of a chance of having fetal problems due to alchol or any other things they say may hurt a fetus

Firstly...don't drink anymore. (But I am sure u know that.) Theres really not much u can do.....drink water to dilute that beer. Don't take Advil...because there is a slight chance it will hurt the baby. Take Tylenol if you need something. But call your Doctor and she or he can tell u better.
