So the thing is i had a couple of drinks at a friends function before i even knew i was pregnant, im around 5 weeks now. Feeling really guilty about it. Wanted to know how others handled this situation.
I personally cut it out the moment I found out and stayed off it the whole time, that felt right to me. I cant advise medically but every doctor I know says avoid it. Maybe confirm with yours too.
Better to skip it entirely. I avoided alcohol fully in both pregnancies because doctors clearly advise against it, especially in the first trimester when the baby is developing. Not worth the risk honestly.
Beta the safest choice is to stay away from alcohol the whole pregnancy. If you drank a little before finding out, dont keep stressing over it, just stop now and look after yourself going forward.
From everything my doctor told me, no amount is considered safe in pregnancy, including early on. It is best to avoid it completely. If you happened to drink before you knew, dont panic, just stop now and mention it at your next visit.
I would say please avoid it, the first trimester is a very crucial time for the baby. If you have any worry about drinks you had earlier, talk to your gynac openly, they wont judge you and can guide you properly.
