You’re fine. It happens. Just don’t drink anymore. Anything you put in your body goes to your baby.

It’s fine. 99% of us who drink and have children have been here
You both are fine I did the same
The baby is in its own little bubble until around 6 weeks that’s when the placenta attaches and starts doing it thing.

Baby will be fine just don’t drink anymore we can sacrifice everything for 9 months for the health of our baby
Don’t feel guilty. You didn’t know, you can only operate on the information you have. Your baby should be fine, but don’t let yourself get too down about something you didn’t know about.
Unfortunately Foetal Alcohol Syndrome can affect the baby from Day 1. Some people it can take just one glass too 
. However, the lucky majority can drink in early pregnancy with no affect at all. Just don’t drink now you know!

My sister drank a little before she found out she was pregnant and my nephew was born healthy. She stopped immediately once she found out.

I drank an entire bottle of fireball to myself about a week before I found out I was pregnant. He’s 7 now, absolutely adorable and wicked smart. You’ll be fine

I was almost 8 weeks before I found out with my oldest and was drinking heavily every thursday-saturday night. I voiced my concern immediately to my DR and they told me it was quite unlikely he’d be born with fetal alcohol syndrome. He’s now a perfectly healthy almost 7 year old. I totally understand that anxiety mama, but I assure you, so long as you quit now that you know all will be just fine!

I drank a few times (kind of heavily) before I found out I was pregnant. My 30th birthday, work Christmas party and my family Christmas. My son was born healthy.
Just be sure to stop all alcohol now and speak with your MD about it as well.
Congratulations

I got drunk off my azz and went to the fair and rode every ride possible then found out the next week I was pregnant. That baby turned 16 in June. No worries. A little alcohol doesn’t hurt. It’s the excessive drinking while pregnant is where fetal alcohol syndrome comes into play

Don’t beat yourself up back in the 70s people drank because it wasn’t as big a deal back then and the babies were OK but I do not think it would be the right thing to start again by choice
As long as you stop drinking you will be fine 
Fetal alcohol syndrome comes from drinking constantly the whole time. I think you’ll be just fine
Should be just fine, happens to women a lot more than you think.
I think the rules apply mostly for alcoholics. If you drink heavily and consistently through your pregnancy it’s what’s really harmful. Take your prenatal vitamins and eat and drink healthily from now on.

Most of the time us women find out we are pregnant after we miss our period. That’s atleast 4-5 weeks out. There is nothing to worry about. I drank a lot during this period (Halloween parties etc) and I know a couple of my friends did too because we all didnt know we were pregnant.

I was in Vegas early pregnancy with one of my kids unknowingly… 
I was pregnant with twins didn’t know i was pregnant till I was 12 weeks. I was told I couldn’t get pregnant. I drank before I knew I was pregnant my twins are almost 16 and are healthy.
I got completely tore up on new years and was pregnant and didn’t know yet. Baby girl is fine and due in a few days!
You will be fine. The baby doesn’t have an umbilical cord until about 7/8 weeks. At 5 weeks baby had a yolk looking thing that nourishes them. I drank a lot at 5 weeks and didn’t know with my twins on new years and they are 3 and Dr says they are very advanced for their age. At this point take care of you and the baby and don’t stress
You should be fine. I did not know with my 17-year-old and I got drunk for St. Patrick’s Day and the next day I found out I was pregnant and he is fine just a little attitude problem.

No worries! I think about our grands and times before they had sonogram and technology telling women WAY early when they are pregnant. They just had to find out when their boobs started hurting, or they had to pee a hundred times a night, or their waistbands were too tight. Imagine what all went on unwittingly. No worries at all.
Most people have drank alcohol before they found out. No big deal, very common.

Lots of women get pregnant on boozy weekends and bubs turn out ok, as long as you stop as soon as you know
Baby will be perfectly fine.
I was drinking a lot before I found out I was pregnant. I drank the week of July 4th and the week after, I found out I was 7 weeks pregnant July 26. He was born healthy 
Dude. You will be fine! Take that anxiety and toss it out the window.
Baby is fine you’re fine.⚘️
I went on a 7 day bender in Thailand not knowing I was pregnant. My son is now 15. He is smart and healthy. I’m not saying it’s ok to drink while pregnant or it didn’t do him any harm. I’m lucky! I’m just saying, the stress you’re putting yourself under thinking about it is possibly more harmful than the drinks you had. All the best and congratulations.

Your baby will be fine. 
It doesn’t matter unless you have high amounts regularly.
Pretty sure all us mums have done this xx
Congrats
I was drinking later in my pregnancy (I didn’t know either) and my children are just fine.
I have four kids, all of which I was well into my fifth month before finding out I was pregnant. I drank with all of them. All fine.
It’s early. But from now on, be much more careful.
When in doubt…that’s a great question for your OB-GYN dr…!Dr…!! Ask next time you’re in for your check up!
You can only do the best you can at the time with the knowledge you have at the time. I drank some wine while I was pregnant with my first kid without knowing I was pregnant with him. I had wine with dinner I think on a Wednesday and found out I was pregnant on that Friday; a couple days after drinking. My son is fine and very bright. I did not drink again once I found out he was there. It was pretty early on in my pregnancy so I don’t think any of the major development started yet at the time. I was probably 4 or 5 weeks pregnant when I found out. I think as long as you don’t drink any more your baby should be fine.
You’ll be fine. I drank until I found out I was pregnant with my first baby at 9 weeks. The doctor said it was nothing to be worried about as long as I didn’t continue it. That baby is 24 now and no FAS
From what I can gather and drinking of alcohols while pregnant causes risk but it’s the heavy drinking all through the pregnancy that causes the issues and when I say drinking I mean blackout drunk all the time.
your not the first did myself then found out 6 weeks pregnat at the time and she was fine didnt drink then.
