If you're not sure than why do it? Is it really worth it? Do you have to drink to have a good time?

If you and your boyfriend had unprotected sex, than there is a chance that you are pregnant right now. If you are pregnant, any alcohol you consume from this minute will affect the baby. You should act like you are pregnant right now and take care of your body. If you find out you are not pregnant, then you can resume drinking alcohol. For the health of a possible baby, you can give up drinking for the next 2 weeks until you find out for sure. The issue is not the alcohol staying in your system for 2 weeks, the issue is you might not know for 2 weeks, but if you are pregnant, there is a baby developing inside you and you are responsible for its well-being.

No. It is proven that alcohol in the first month or so of pregnancy doesn't have an adverse effect on the baby.
It is proven so because many a time a woman has gone out and gotten drunk without knowing that she was pregnant. There is nothing wrong with the baby afterwards...
Now that is not permission to drink. If you have reason to believe you are pregnant you should absolutely not drink. If you don't want to be pregnant, use protection next time. If your boyfriend is trying to get you pregnant, be sure it's what YOU want, because if things don't work out, it will be you dealing with life with a baby, not him.
Good Luck.

I was 3 weeks pregnant when i found out i was pregnant. I had drank a lot before i knew and now i have a healthy 2 month old........my best advise is that you don't drink. However if you are then keep it to a couple of drinks. Once i knew i was pregnant, not a drop touch my lips for the entire pregnancy. The thought of knowing that i could harm my future and an innocent little baby tore me apart! Good luck.......BTW-you can go to the DR get a blood test .

If it's possible that you might be pg, I would hold off until you know for sure. One drink is most likely not going to hurt anything, but I wouldn't chance it. When I found out I was pg, I had 3 drinks in the last week (which is totally unusual because I RARELY drink alcohol) and I thought for sure I had pickled my baby!! I would hold off until you know for sure...but a sip or two wouldn't hurt anything. Good luck.
P.S. Man, I would kill for a margarita right now!!!

Lots of people drink and/or smoke before they know they're pregnant and end up having healthy baby's. However, in your case if you suspect you might be pregnant it's not worth risking it. If you're not expecting party it up in a two weeks, other than that it's much better to be safe now than sorry later.

It could do yes, even though it may not be a baby yet it still is developing and who knows what can affect something that small, but i also know that one drink now and then, say of wine, shouldn't do too much harm - you just have to think whatever affect that drink is having on you it's having the same affect on the baby...

you do not have to wait for two weeks to see if you are pregnant,you can do a test within a week of getting preg but it will be a blood test not a urine test.
i doubt that having a drink today will affect you so adversely, once you dont over do it but to save peace you could just start been responsible for your body and listen to your boyfriend.
good luck

Yes - You should really stay clean because you are never sure what it can do
While you are at it. You need to be sure your B/F hasn't done drugs like marijuana because that can make his sperm inferior and you could have a child with problems, all because of what your B/F did in the past.
Guys usually put all the responsibility on the mom and now we are learning alot of the problems with children are from the dad's sperm being compromised by drugs and by the way alcohol is a drug.

It's not going to do anything to your baby that early in development. And even later a single drink probably isn't going to do any real harm. Getting wasted will.
