i've been ttc. i was supposed to start on the 7th. i got a neg on the 18. so i thought i wasn't pregnant i was a little upset and i smoked some pot. then on the 20th i tasted some wine my brother had made(just littlerly enough to taste,i'm not a big fan of achahol). my alergys have been driving me crazy so on the 22nd i took some childrens bendryl. well on the 26th i desided sence i hadn't startd yet to test again, and it came back positive...now i feel realy bad about what i'd previously done. and am concerned, could it have effected the baby?
(then on the 27th i forgot you're not supposed to have caffine when you're pregnant and had a cup of coffee. the baby should still be okay right? i'm not going to have any thing eles with caffine in it the rest of the pregnancy.)

Most doctors, mine included, say that up to two cups of coffee a day is fine--so you don't even have to give it up completely if you don't want to.
Benadryl is safe in pregnancy. I am 34 weeks and took one last night.
A taste of alcohol is fine. Many women get drunk before they realize their pregnant and their babies are perfectly healthy.
Smoking pot once in early pregnancy is also not going to be a problem--just abstain the rest of your pregnancy.
Congratulations on the pregnancy!

Normally things you do before you KNOW your pregnant will have little effect on your child. You cant beat yourself up over it. My doctor told me I can have one caffinated drink a day so that shouldnt be a problem. Also I have read in many places that a glass of wine every once in a while will not hurt a pregnant woman, it will often help her relax. I had a glass of wine at Christmas dinner with my family..
Also another note, PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS AS ME SAYING ITS OKAY TO DO DRUGS WHILE PREGNANT but I have a relative that didnt stop smoking pot until she was six weeks away from her due date and her baby came out perfect. It almost makes me mad, my son is due in a week and a half and I have to go for my 5th ultrasound this week because he isnt big enough to make the doctors happy, yet everything I read about smoking in pregnancy said it causes premature birth and underweight babies. I quit smoking and my cousin didnt and her baby was overdue and over eight pounds.....I'm sure yours will be fine.

Studies show that caffeine in moderation will not hurt your baby, so it's ok to drink even one cup a day. But if you want to give it up altogether, that's even better.
A taste of wine won't hurt your baby either. Wine during pregnancy is safe to drink as long as it's a small amount and only every once in a while - and with food in your stomach.
As for the pot - same thing - one episode won't hurt your baby. But I hope that you will give pot up for good after the pregnancy as well.
Congratulations!

Don't worry you should be fine! One cup of coffee is fine a day during pregnancy...as for your other actions, if you are a habitual user I would be concerned if I were you but it was once and you are in early stages so do not worry. If you are still concerned when you see your Doctor then talk to them. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

this may not sound to good but me and my best friend used to party like rockstars. we were very heavy drinkers and had parties nonstop. a week or so later she started getting symptoms. She took a test and she was infact pregnant. So as long as you dont do any of that anymore you should be good to go! good luck to you and congrats!

Your baby will be fine. Most women do things they wouldn't before finding out they are pregnant. You have stopped and that whats important. Be good from this point on.
Congratulations and best of luck!!
