So say a girl didnt know she was pregnant and she got drunk twice within the first 3 weeks of pregnancy but didnt drink after that. How much would that hurt the baby, could the baby still be okay and healthy? please only answer if you really KNOW the answer.

She and the baby should still be fine. Most women don't even know they're pregnant for the first three weeks, so you can only imagine what all goes on during those weeks for many women. Fetal alcohol syndrome and other birth defects resulting from drinking during pregnancy, as well as defects from smoking during pregnancy, are supposed to happen during the second and third trimesters most frequently, when the most fetal development is occurring.

I am 16 Weeks and 3 Days pregnant. I found out that I was pregnant I believe when I was 6 weeks. During those 6 weeks I drank every single weekend sometimes during the week also. Due to my boyfriend being in the music industry and being exposed to the nightlife all of the time. So far the baby and I are perfectly healthy. My triple screen test came back negative and the baby is growing as it should.
Congrats & Good Luck

Hey, i had a few drinks before i knew i was pregnant too. In fact i was well into my second month before i knew. And my son is healthy. As long as you dont drink when you do know, because as the baby keeps developing it would effect it even more. But you didnt know, and i beleive your child will be fine. Good luck in your pregnancy! ~ Sheky

hi. the last time i had a drink was april 28 and i found out i was pregnant april 29 cause i had a usual HANGOVER.
it was truly strange and i knew something was not right so i took the test and it came up positive. i just missed a period so i was like 4 WEEKS or so.
any way, its not the girls fault if she didnt know. god will protect that unborn child. just tell her to stop now!
my friend didnt find out she was pregnant until she was 6mo..and she drank WINE alot. I think she knew but was in denial! every baby is different though...
her baby boy is so precious...and healthy.

There are quite a number of girls that have drank and didn't know they were pregnant!! I know numerous friends that did exactly the same thing and their babies came out just fine! Not to say that this is a sure thing but I would talk to your doctor about your concerns and see what she/he has to say! Good luck with all you do!

I was pregnant and went to a Cinco de Mayo party and had a few margaritas. Although I haven't had the baby yet, the doctors don't seem concerned. The main thing is that she doesn't drink anymore.

I have two sisters who both got drunk in early pregnancy, before they knew they were pregnant, and their babies are lovely. So, it's possible that it won't hurt your baby at all. But, there is some risk, too.

Almost everyone drinks before they find out they are pregnant. The baby is not even really a baby, its a bunch of cells. The baby is fine, if it wasn't we would all have babies with problems!

ASK a doctor they are the only ones who will really KNOW the answer. You and the baby should be fine.

As long as you don't continue to drink, everything will be just fine. I drank a few times before I knew I was pregnant, and took very dangerous perscriptions and my doctor said that everything is just fine. Don't worry.
