Binge Drinking

Joan - February 9

i am only 6 weeks pregnant. but efore i found out i was pregnant, i drank 4 or more glasses of wine on 4 different occassions in the first 5 weeks of pregnancy. I am extremely worried about this as i hear that the first four weeks are very critical-- and that 'binge' drinking is considered 4 drinks or more. Does anyone know what my chances are of damage to my baby??

don't worry, plenty of women have had a similar amount to drink in early pregnancy and have gone on to have perfectly healthy babies. i am not an expert but i believe that fetal alcohol syndrome is the main problem from a pregnant woman drinking and i think that would have to be over a sustained period of time in the pregnancy and not just at the very start. relax, chances are very much on you having a healthy baby.
