Question by incognito1: binge drnk 6 times including about 1 gal. of alchol each episode 11-29 units in 7 weeks. any1 exp. & had baby
I had no idea I was pregnant! I’ve attended several mandatory parties and binge drink 6 times each episode consuming 11-29 units of alcohol including the consumption of about 1 gal. of alcohol in the first 7 weeks of pregnancy. I know this is a critical time the 1st trimester and the baby can suffer from FAS more so FAE (defect and deformaties) esp. since during this time the organs and bones are forming. I’m normally superconscious and I’m against drinking, smoking, using barbituraires or over the counter meds during pregnancy so you must know I’m so afraid for this baby. I had no I idea I was pregnant and killing my own child . So far I’m trying not to increase more damage by trying not to stress, eat right take prenatals, excersise and getting my regular check-ups, but I’m just curious to know if anyone ever went through this and how did the baby turn out?

Many women dont know they are pregnant right away do such things. You’re doing good by correcting yourself now. I have every hope your baby will be just fine.
I was taking adderal xr for the first few weeks of my last pgcy. Its a prescribed drug but it is a controlled substance. Totally not good for a pgcy.. but my baby is just fine!!!

I think you will be okay, i drank during the 1st month of both of my pregnancy’s before i found out. The doctors all said that what you drink before you know wont hurt. Its only if you keep drinking. Dont worry, i worried and it only made me stressed out. The baby will be fine.
I didn’t know I was even pregnant on my 21st birthday. And I went out and celebrated. I had quite a bit to drink as well. My baby will be two in August and she is just fine.
I know people who have done this and their baby’s had FAS. Sounds like you are not ready to be a parent. Manditory parties, don’t mean manditory getting S H I T faced. Time to grow up.
OH boo hoo, the asker thumbed me down. You should book the abortion now. You have screwed this kids life up beyond repair.
Congenital anomalies usually occured in babies with mother who drink too much alcohol. anyway, I am not a doctor to tell you so, see you doctor ASAP and tell him your condition. Good luck.
Like most people have said, I too drank before I knew I was pregnant. With my first I only had a few drinks as I was 20 but with my second I misread a pregnancy test and drank a half of a bottle of champagne (as I had done for the 8 weeks previous). Then of course I felt awful when my husband found my misread test the next day and said we were really pregnant. As long as you quit drinkin and don’t do it anymore you should be okay. I asked my doctor about all three of them and she said it’s usually ok. The only person I have met that had FAS (and his was a minor effect) was due to drinking heavily everyday and beer being put in his bottle as a baby.
