Unless you were a serious falling down alcoholic and 3 packs a day, any damage would be minimal. Alcohol in itself is not harmful because part of our metabolism creates alcohol as a natural by product. EXCESSIVE amounts of almost anything can cause damage. Good luck.

Although you cannot repair the damage done, you can minimize any future damage by ensuring you do not drink or smoke for the remainder of your pregnancy, taking multivitamins and folic acid, avoiding stress and environmental toxins, and following a gentle exercise routine. It is unfortunate that the first 3 months (when many mothers may be unaware they are pregnant) are the vital periods for brain, nervous system and heart development.

Although whatever damage has been caused is irreversible, genetic resilience may have prevented significant harm so don't lose hope. Many mothers drink and smoke during pregnancy, both when they are ignorant of their condition, and when they are not, and some of those children are more affected than others.

Just to give you hope: I fell pregnant as a teenager, unplanned and a complete surprise, and I drank in the early days of my pregnancy (before I knew I was pregnant), and my little boy, who is now 6, is perfectly fine.

Nope your child is going to come out mutated and retarded. 13 fingers, 3 eyes, and a hermaphadite. Thats what you get for being irresponsible.


Edit: I'm sorry that was un called for lol its just i was born with a scrotem under my left eye because my mom drank a little while pregnant. Not to mention my dick is on my right knee. But im sure your baby will come out semi normal. More normal then me at least :(

Any damage will have already beeen done. Just keep your fingers crossed.
