B4 I knew I was pregnant I drank maybe every other weekend and smoked a few cigarettes. I didnt know I was pregnant for the 1st month so could my baby have been seriously affected by this?

I don't think it would hun but if your concern for the your baby's health you may ask your doctor. I never smoke or drink so I don't know sorry

I was in the same situation. My hubby and I drank several bottles of wine over the course of the 4 weeks prior to our finding out I was pregnant, but the doc said not to be worried about it.

I worried about the same things! I got real drunk a few times b4 I found out, and I was so worried about it, so I asked my doc & she said usually it would have had to be done repetitively for damage to be done and my lil girl came out fine so don't worry too much!

One drink can give the baby fetal alcohol syndrome. But that isn't an every occurance thing!
Some people drink throughout their entire pregnancy and the baby is fine, where some drink for the first month because they don't know and have a baby with f.A.S.
If you are concerned just tell your doc. They can just watch the development closely. You are most likely fine though. I don't mean to worry you, just giving you the facts.
One of my friends didn't know she was pregnant until almost her fourth month. We drank every weekend (if not more) and she smoked regularly. Her son was just fine. It just depends on so many different things, but I wouldn't worry.

Well all of that is reasurring..

Although, I was never worried about the alcohol and stuff as much as I have been about the pain meds and antibiotics I took...I took a crap load of advil. Eek. Like 8 a day for the first month...Thats kinda creepy huh? My mom is always getting on my butt about the stuff I eat too...What kinda stuff did y'all avoid while you were pregnant? Or still are...
