I just learned I am 5 weeks pregnant for the first time.
A few weeks ago, I had a dream that I made it a goal to myself to stop drinking. We've been trying to get pregnant for about 7 months and didn't think the dream was regarding pregnancy. I drank anyway and to my horror I found out I was pregnant. I've read how the majority of women drink in early pregnancy, and how their babies are fine... but I feel like this dream was trying to warn me that my baby would not be okay if I drank. I was taking prenatal pills at the time of conception, but I don't know if that helped. I'm so distraught right now, I'm so scared that I've done damage and I'm thinking about not having this baby. I don't know what to do :(

When I found out that I was pregnant I freaked out. I was seven weeks and I had had surgery to remove my gall bladder just weeks before. The doctor prescribed Percocet for pain and I did take them, not knowing I was expecting. I was so scared I had hurt my baby by taking the pain medication that it was the first thing I asked about when my doctor came in the room. She told me that in the early weeks of pregnancy it's all or nothing, if there is something wrong with the baby your body will miscarry. I don't know if this is true of drinking alcohol or even if my doc just said this to make me feel better but I doubt it, and I do feel better. I'm now 21 weeks pregnant and everything is normal. He seems to be happily kicking away in there.

Bella (I do not mean this in any form of anger or upsetting, it may seem like that though.) , this child is /your/ child. If something has happened to the child, it is your duty to be the first to love it and care for it, no matter what it is or what it looks like or acts like. Drinking was a decision you made and if it /has/ done damage, of any sort, it is best to just hope for the child to be okay. Why give up now? Throw away what could be your only chance? Keep on. Take care of this child with your life! It'll work out well, just don't try and sweat about it and turn it around before anything does happen! It might seem strange at first if something has happened to it, but if it is still there, why get rid of it? This child could possibly be a blessing to you. They usually are. Please, love the child and always admire it for who it is. It is your's. It will love you for who you are as well. I admire your concern. It is very heartwarming that you have understood and still do that drinking is not best for this time. I will have you in my prayers. Along with the child. Please, try and stay safe, for you and your darling baby.
