Drinking at 3 weeks pregnant???
Posted: 07-05-08 02:25am

I'm a few days late on my period, my last period was June 5. I just got back from Vegas the other day and of course was drinking the whole time I was there. I know its not good if I am pregnant, but how bad is it exactly if I was only 3 1/2 weeks pregnant? What could happen to the baby if I am pregnant?

It's unlikely to cause any harm at that stage of pregnancy. MANY women drink (sometimes in large quantities) before finding out they are pregnant. The important thing is to stop once you do find out.

I didn't find out I was pregnant till I was about 7 weeks and I had drank and smoked many times in the time I was pregnant. Now i'm 16 weeks and everything is fine

Ok thank you! Thats a relief. I figured it wouldn't hurt anything but I wasn't positive.

The only thing you can do now is wait and see if you're even pregnant. You might be worrying over nothing. And even if you are pregnant, you can't undo the past. All you can do is control your actions from here on out - which means no more drinking until you know for sure!

You will most likely be okay, and it should not harm the fetus at that stage of life, if there is one.
