Depends on what you mean by "a few times"!! With my oldest, I didnt know I was PG either until I was 4 months and had attended a HUGE party and did a little more than just drink a little, if you get my drift!
Daughter turned out perfect is now almost 17 and a straight A student.
Of course once I knew I was PG, I quit everything bad, but I had partied it up alot there before I knew.
If you kept it up and acted like you arent PG, you probably should be concerned but drinking a little bit as you discribe, baby should be fine.
Good luck.

No.
No, no, no.
Like everything else, the dangers of alcohol during pregnancy are vastly overstated. Until recently, a little alcohol during pegnancy was never a big deal. In Europe it is considered normal to have wine with each meal.
FAS comes from mothers who ABUSE alcohol. The obvious cases are from people who have a drinking problem and get falling down drunk several times (many times) during their pregnancy.
I assume you aren't in this category. If you went out and had a 2 or 3 drinks in an evening, nothing will be wrong with the child. If you did get smashed drunk, you know - 4 or 5 shooters and several shots of hard liquor or 8 beers - then I would worry.
Even so, if you din't make it a twice-a-week or more habit, i don't think you will have a problem.

Your baby should be fine. I think they tell women no alcohol, because some women don't understand the word moderation. Throughout history women drank alcohol while they were pregnant and it's not like everyone was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

I'm sure you are fine.
How many of us didn't drink before we knew we were pregnant, I certainly had a few before I knew.
Don't stress about it. As long as you are not drinking now, that is what matters.
Though I had a small glass of wine every now and then during my pregnancy. Some doctors even recommend it!

Talk to your doctor, but this happens to alot of people...There are risks, but you can be tested for most..just stay sober now!
