We have only just realised and it appears she's almost 6 weeks.
Within these 6 weeks she's had an x ray, been on anti biotics and has had a few drinks.
Will everything be ok????

SEE A DOCTOR NOW!!
They will tell you everything you need to know.
I had a similar situation, so trust me.
Everything should be fine IF you go immediately!

Most likely, yes, as long as she stops all those things now. Her doctor should know about everything and would be able to give you a better answer. I got drunk about a day after I conceived but didn't touch a drink during the rest of my pregnancy and my daughter turned out fine. I also had an infection in my foot and had to take antibiotics which were okay to take while pregnant per my regular doctor and OB/GYNs okay and that was fine also. An ultrasound is sort of like an x-ray but is done very few times and is at a lower radiation than other x-rays. Good luck!

hi, congratulations, having a baby is always a scary time, as a mother of two i know. with my first i didn't know till i was 12 weeks, i had been drinking, on anti depressants and even some illegal stuff, i was so scared i had harmed my unborn baby but he was a healthy 8lb little lump!!! i had my second child and i was the perfect pregnant woman yet my baby was born prem, he was in special care but he is now a 3 year old lovable monster! I'm sure everything will be fine, mention it to the midwife but don't let it worry you, enjoy the pregnancy...its a magical time and a wonderful experience, good luck xx

This happens to almost everyone who gets pregnant without planning. They take drugs, alcohol, have x-rays, etc. It's nearly impossible to determine if this causes any problems.
I went on a roller coaster at 7 weeks (not knowing I was pregnant) and ending up having a miscarriage, although it probably wasn't because of the roller coaster. Something always made me wonder though . . .
Bottom line, there's nothing you can do about the past. Just worry about the future - get her on prenatal vitamins and to a doctor for a check up.

Yes, everything should be just fine. If you are worried then have a chat with your GP and arrange an early scan, although the early scan will only show you a heart beat, all you will see is a wee flickering spot, which is the heart, but believe me that is the most reassuring thing to see.
Congratulations and try not to worry so much.

Only one way to find out hun, take her to see her GP and see if s/he can arrange for her to be checked out. I'm pretty sure that the first scan is not usually until 11weeks so not too long to go till that. Try not to worry, some foetus' are very strong and have good immunities from the start. Try to focus on nurturing the little one now and dont forget to get checked out. I hope everything turns out ok for you and your girlfriend.

I'm sure everything will be OK . Before i found out i was pregnant i ate snails in France got very drunk several times on champagne (wedding anniversarie) I think it must be prolonged abuse to your body that may do the harm. Good luck to you both.

I'm sure things will be fine, but better to have a piece of mind and check it out. I know quite a few stories about women who have been drinking and smoking in their first crucial months of being pregnant, without knowing they were pregnant. So long as she doesn't drink any more and takes it easy! congrats!
