You are fine. Don't know how old you are but my parents drank, smoked and exposed us as fetuses and as young children to all kinds of things that in today's world would have them thrown in jail. I turned out fine as well as all the other people my age.
What I find ironic is that you are concerned about a couple drinks and if you have affected your baby (which again you have not), but the drunks and crack heads and dumbsh*ts that continue to live their terrible lifestyles will have healthy bouncing babies never giving a thought to how much harm they potentially could do to their fetus.
If you are this concerned now, you must be a very good mother. Good luck to you.

First of all, have him buy you a pregnancy test - or you buy one - and get that settled right away so you don't have to worry about it anymore. You can't know if you are pregnant unless you take the test or get your period. Cramping and soreness can mean you are pre menstrual or have other causes so that alone doesn't really tell you. I'm not a lawyer but it seems it's not illegal if you are 16. I did a yahoo search under "Law Sex with a Minor Florida" and that's what the sites I looked at said, but again, I'm not a lawyer. So I don't believe he could ever go to jail for having sex with you. If he were 24 or older and you were 16 it would be statutory rape. Of course in any case if it's consensual someone has to report it for it to be a problem. I don't know if you could move in with him or not but do consider if this is a good idea to begin with. If you aren't pregnant you might not need to tell your Mom but for your own sake please don't have unprotected sex again. It's a pretty high price to pay - being pregnant at 16 and having a child or having an abortion at your age isn't a great idea. While it's good to be forgiving I think you need to change the "boys will be boys" attitude and speak with your boyfriend about how important it is to always use protection. It sounds like you have a good relationship but it's possible that it could end and that would leave you in an even more difficult situation if you got pregnant.

5. What if I am pregnant and have been drinking?
If you drank alcohol before you knew you were pregnant, stop drinking now. You will feel better and your baby will have a good chance to be born healthy. If you want to get pregnant, do not drink alcohol. You may not know you are pregnant right away. Alcohol can hurt a baby even when you are only 1 or 2 months pregnant.

you're fine and i guarentee your dr will tell you not to worry about as long as you stopped drinking when you found out and started taking vitamins. This happens to a lot of people and they go on to have healthy babies. I too drank before i found out i was pregnant on more than one occasion I am now 26 weeks pregnant and everything is developing wonderfully. Think happy thoughts.

I have known a few people who drank before they found out they were pregnant and their babies are OK. Everyone does SOMETHING you're not supposed to do before they find out, and look at all the healthy babies we have running around! If you stop doing unhealthy things now, I'm sure your baby will be fine. Right now the most important thing is to be healthy, and a huge part of that is to keep yourself as calm as possible and avoid stress. Congratulations!

most people don't even know that they are pregnant this early. your baby should be fine. I drank more than 4 times before finding out i was pregnant and there's nothing wrong with my baby. Talk to your doctor if you're really really worried about it. Good Luck!!!

Your baby will be fineeee....Lots of women dont know they are pregnant right away and take medicines, drink, etc...and the baby is fine. IT is if you drink the whole time that things will go wrong. My friend drank alot before she found out she was pregnant and she was 2 months. Her baby was born perfectly healthy. Drinking a few times will not do anything. With my third son, before I knew I was pregnant, I had Xrays done, took tylenol with codeine, antibiotics, etc...and he is a perfectly normal 3 year old running around driving me crazy..lol. Dont worry so much.

Most people drink a lot before they know they are pregnant and the baby usually comes out fine. My cousin was 16 when she found out she was pregnant and she drank so heavily you would of thought the baby would've came out drunk....but everything was fine. As long as you know you are pregnant now and you stop your child should be fine. Consult your doctor and he/she should be able to put your mind at ease.

Don't worry about your baby. I know you feel really bad b/c now you know and you drank. I drank too and like a day later I found out I was pregnant. So I was really worried about it too, but everything with your baby is going to be okay, you'll see at your doctor's app. Good luck

as embarrased as I am to admit this I didnt find out I was pregnant till I was about 6-7 wks, Ive always been irregular prior too finding out I drank like a fish, smoked weed and did some X. I cried and prayed like crazy I wanted my baby After my son was born I kept looking for "issues" thanks the good Lord he's fine and is actually ahead of most kids his age, I dont promote doing that crap while pregnant but I wouldnt worry too much
