Well I assume you are on a pregnancy forum because there is a possibility you could be pregnant. I would suggest you stop drinking until you find out unless you want a developmentally delayed child.

I used to drink a lot too, but if you haven't had a cycle for 2 months then you need to put the drinks down! The first trimester is the most essential period for brain development in babies. A lot of women don't find out until around 5 weeks of pregnancy, and a night out or two before you find out isn't a big deal, but if you're a heavy drinker that's not good. Why have you continued to drink heavy knowing you haven't had a normal cycle?

I'm confused ....Is this post about thinking shes pregnant or alcohol?

I dont know I think she was just asking advice btw my kids arent messed up


anyways someone has issues oh all your kids are going to be retarted if you drink im surprized your not cause our moms drank a beer in the delivery room oh the doing it nerve


anyways hun get checked out drinking from what I know never affected my cycle but then again im not a heavy drinker.

Diamond, I agree there is ntohing wrong with having a glass once in while of beer or wine. Like I said many times both my grandmother had 20 kids amongst them and no one , I repeat no one is retarded....I think someone who reads everything from a book is a retard themself!

lol.Well when you have nothing to go on but the book you have no other choice,lol. Heavy drinking is not smart.Like someone said,your first 3 months are the most important for development so stop drinking and get to the doctor so they can see whats going on

Lol, mel. I agree some people have nothing but a text book ...Pretty sad! But I agree excessive drinking is a giant no, no and hard liquor is also not good....But my point is some "people" think one glass of beer or wine once in a while will def. Wihtout doubt the child to be a retard..Now isnt that just retarded? Lmao...

Its like people who have to take morpheine during their pregnancy she probally thinks their drs a loony bin too..


I took meds i'm not supposed to take during pregnancy cause I had too but my kids is still healthy once I was off the meds dr told me to have a drink to calm down as I was such a worry wart and it did wonder all problems cured up after.....

Stress is worse than alcohol and anal is another word for stressed duh

Oh christ, stfu

she said she was drinking a lot of alchohol people-and everyone knows the first trimester is the most fragile.

I think its common sense that this is a big no no.

no one said she should keep drinking...

they were implying it was ok by saying "my kids arent fuc*ed up" and all the other mumbo jumbo she threw in there. I dont think I have ever read a coherent post from you, diamondz. Maybe you are slow from all the drinking you said your mom did in the delivery room.

In my opinion you are taking a big chance by drinking in excess in the beginning of a pregnancy, and yes, your kids can be fuc*ed up. Maybe diamondz got lucky that her kids were born healthy. Thats not to say that they wont have behavioral problems like add when they get older.

Look I dont want to start some big huge drama fight, I am just saying that people shouldnt be telling this girl that its okay to drink especially since she said she drinks .A.L.O.T. And that is very dangerous in the first trimester.

read this again.

She wants to know if drinking has something to do with her late cycle or if she needs to go to the doctor (because it might be something else.

lol.Well, its just a risk some people want to take.It's not 100% but it could happen

Right. Nothing is 100%. Nothing ever is.

ingi I see what youre saying but read my very first post....Why would she be in a preg. Forum unless there was .S.O.M.E. Possibility she was prego?

You would think she would just go to the womens health or bc formus otherwise.

when you said stfu, it seemed like you were taking this whole thing too personally. Lighten up. This has all been discussed before by the exact same people.

There is something i've noticed about people who ask the questions they ask, they really already know the answer - they are just looking for some validation. This girl knows she shouldn't drink when she is pregnant. everyone knows it. In fact, it is plastered on every label of every alcoholic beverage in the states. It is a law. It is on posters in the liquor stores. Waitresses refuse to serve pregnant women. And it is in every magazine ad for alcohol.

If you don't know that alcohol can cause birth defects, you must be living under a rock.

Oh, I totally agree. I'm not saying I did agree with excessive drinking while pregnant. But I also don't agree with smoking around children either. Nor do I think mcdonalds food is good for kids, or for anyone actually. But just because I have my views, doesn't mean my views are right for everyone.

I agree with ingi!!!

Enough said!

I never told people to drink that is a decision people make on their own, anything can be harmful to a pregnancy but i'm not anal as some are im more laid back but I guess it was how I raised.


If I wanted to make sense I would but im not getting paid to do it so f*ck it....


The fact that you stated anyone who drinks will have a retarted child is disgusting, first off you are being prejudist and second you are not a medical professional. All I state is that your validations are not true I have two healthy/intellgent kids and if something happens to my son it is a genetic disorder that he will inherit from his grandfather called "muscular dystrophy."

i have done multiple debates for school projects on alcohol during pregnancy and 85% of the studies done were woman who had 3 drinks a day not 2-3 drinks during the whole pregnancy. 95% of woman who had a drink-2 drinks during the pregnancy never had children with any birth defect and I have the studies to prove it. I never posted it cause I dont want people to think its okay to drink but people like me of european background are born and raised in the glass of wine thing occaisionally and that is why I did the study.


I have already posted links on sites that contradict you and I have alot more from actual brewerys itself, the reason they dont want pregnant woman to drink is because they over do it(abuse it). Alcohol in moderation is healthy and has had multiple studies that prove a drink every so often actually improves one health.


I know whats right and wrong, I dont break the rules, I smoke outside(dont even smoke in the car unless the kids arent there) I will never promote smoking and will be quitting after I take my weight off and get back into a healthy lifestyle.


I dont eat at fastfood and will only allow my kids to eat there on special occaisons, I never hit or abuse my kids and yes I love them to death, in that case I am not better or worse than you (but if you want to play that game I can)


so stop talking down to people its sickening

oh before you call me retarted again remeber who has the better job and im furthering my education while being a parent/wife/sister and friend so I can still strut my stuff with confidence. The only reason I am where I am is because I am myself I dont read textbooks but I follow my heart/instincts plus im blunt as all hell.

lol! I never said everyone that drinks will have a retarded kid, I said you are taking a chance.
I am not going to read your whole post because its not worth my time but I just read the last paragraph...You have a better job? Haha! And what makes you think im not furthering my education?
You dont read textbooks? what? Then how do you "further your education?"
by "following your heart" omg lol too funny! That just made my day-thanks!
