I got off the pill in hopes of pregnancy but always had a quirky cycle. So I thought here we go again, my period is messed up. I did not find out I was pregnant until I was 12 weeks or so. I had a ultrasound and everything is looking great. I am concerned, and the doctor does know and told me it would be fine, however, I would like some woman to give me their thoughts. I had about a glass of wine a week during that first trimester. Always with dinner and only one. I am very scared something will be wrong. Thanks!!

I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine!!! If the doctor isn't concerned, then you shouldn't be either. You're definitely not an alcoholic, so I don't see any reason for concern! I was a smoker before I conceived my son, and I smoked a pack a day until I discovered I was pregnant. I stopped as soon as the test came back positive, and my son was absolutely fine! We all do things in early pregnancy that aren't good to do - like taking prescription meds, OTC meds like Advil, drinking, smoking etc. I rarely hear of a problem resulting from doing any of that in early pregnancy. Just relax. If nothing is wrong, and your doctor isn't concerned, then everything is going to be fine!! Good luck and congrats!!

You "shouldn't" smoke or drink during pregnancy... does that mean that the baby is going to be severely damaged if you are around smoke or have a glass of wine here and there? NO!
One glass of wine per week won't hurt anything. It's perfectly safe to have a glass now and then during pregnancy. I'm not saying that you should continue every single week, because I don't want to give people the wrong idea and have my words misinturpreted... but rest assured, your baby is safe (based on what you're saying)!

You should be fine! I had a lot more than that to drink when I was first pregnant because I had my 21st birthday (I didn't know I was pregnant until I was 7 weeks along) and my baby is perfectly fine. As long as you don't keep it up now that you know you are pregnant you should be fine. My doctor actually said a glass of wine or beer every now and then with dinner is fine. I'm sure your doctor would have told you if he/she was concerned.
Good luck and congrats! :)

Please don't let your mind dwell too much on this, sweetie! YOUR BABY IS GOING TO BE FINE. :) Especially since you only had a glass of wine a week. Some women drink a glass of wine a week throughout their entire pregnancy and have perfectly healthy babies. Some women party HARD before they find out they are pregnant and have perfectly healthy babies. (I'm talking like excessive alcohol, and drugs to boot. Not saying that's good, because it's not, but your situation isn't even close to that.) Stop thinking about it and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. :) Best of luck to you! Congratulations!

One glass? I'm sure you'll be fine. Most cases of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome are related to moderate/heavy drinking throughout the pregnancy. I was about 13 weeks when I found out I was pregnant (spazzy cycle) and I had a few drinks at a party 4 weeks prior. I hit the fan, and was bawling to my doctor for an hour! lol...Your baby will be fine....Trust your doctor.

Im sure you will be fine. Listen to your doctor. My mum did not find out about me in till she was 28 weeks so took no procations and im fine. Your baby has only just started feeding off you (normally around week 13) Plus it does sound like you only had a few. Worry will do you no good. So follow docs advise.

well there isn't anything you can do about it now. All you can do is make sure that you don't drink any alcohol from now on. Take really good care of yourself and hopefully it didn't hurt the baby. You only take once a week and only one glass so you might be safe. Congrats on baby
