In very early pregnancy, your foetus is not even tapped into your blood supply yet. So there is little risk of damage in that first little while before you even now.
Also, many, perhaps most, women undergo the exact same thing. In many European countries, the occasional social drink is still permitted during pregnancy, and there is no evidence that those places have higher rates of fetal problems. Fetal alcohol syndrome generally arises when someone has been severely and regularly intoxicated.
That said, of course you should try to avoid starting now. In the next few weeks crucial development happens at this time. But don't lose sleep over what you can't undo.

No, you'll be OK. Takes a couple of weeks for the fetus to get planted to the uterine wall ( or somethng like that). many women have had a couple of drinks or more and their babies were fine. just stop now....
And congrats!

When you talk to your doctor about this, they always tell you not to worry about it, just don't drink anymore. I'm sure your baby will be fine as long as you weren't overdoing it every single night for those 2 weeks. Congratulations!!!

don't stress about it. take care of yourself from now and the bubs will be all good. I've got 3 healthy boys and my mrs was drinking the first month (not heavily) before she found out too.

It's never safe to drink alcohol while you're pregnant. It can be mentally damaging to your baby, but I think that you and your baby will be just fine. =] Hope I helped.

depends on how much your drinking one glass once a week before you knew should be fine if you were getting wasted once a week or more i would suggest you talk to your doctor it could harm the baby
