If you were to find out that you are 3-4 weeks pregnant and have consumed alcohol numerous times in those weeks, is it really bad for the pregnancy? I'm worried about what effect that would have on the fetus at such an early stage. Any info is helpful, thanks.

Honestly, we all know you are not supposed to drink when pregnant, pretty obvious. HOWEVER, I do not know many people who knew right away that they were pregnant, in fact mosty people are a few weeks along and most of them DID drink, smoke, etc. If this is what has happened to you, I would relax, chances are pretty good that all will be fine. don't stress yourself out worrtyng about it! Just do everything you can now to have a healthy pregnancy. You will stress yourself out more worrying about it. GOOD LUCK!

With my first, I drank A LOT- about 3 times a week- and not just casual drinking, I mean DRUNK.
This went on until I found out I was pregnant at 10 weeks!
My daughter is perfect, I have heard that it mostly effects the baby when you continue to drink- the whole pregnancy.
I wouldn't worry at all if I were you.Enjoy your pregnancy!

Me too I had a glass of red wine the weekend before I found out I was pregnant but after I found out I stopped immediately and have not touched a drop and I won't until after the birth. My doctor advises to abstain altogether becuase there is too much research that shows alcohol can really harm your baby. Congrats on your pregnancy and good luck.

Unfortunately even one drink can cause FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome), but not everyone who consumes alcohol during a pregnancy will have a child born with FAS. If you have a FAS child, your chances of having another is a lot higher if you drink during pregnancy. I'd stop drinking now that you know so that hopefully your baby will be OK. Talk to your doctor about it!

it is not to bad
i did it but that was only because i didnt know i was pregnant but as soon as i knew i stopped and u should do 2 if ur pregnant or atleast limit ur drinking i think its 1unit a week or something like that but it best u avoid alcohol altogether so the baby's stomach will grow properly and will be able 2 digest food

google fetal alcohol syndrome, depending on exactly what you call numerous times, your baby could be fine, or not.
