im asking because i didnt know i was pregnant and had a couple drinks at a friends wedding before my test came positive. now im 6 weeks and feeling so guilty about it. is this something to really worry about?
It does affect the baby, the safest approach is zero alcohol during pregnancy. Most doctors are very clear on this. Better to skip it entirely for these months.
Yes, alcohol can really affect the baby, there is no safe amount that doctors recommend. I stopped completely the moment I knew. Please avoid it fully and if you drank before knowing, just tell your gynac honestly so they can guide you.
I totally understand if you already had some before finding out, dont panic and beat yourself up. Just stop now and speak openly with your doctor. Going forward, keeping it alcohol free is the safest gift for the baby.
