Ok I got a question, so I dont know if im pregnant. I dont think so because I took a test and it was negative but then again the doc. Told me 2 wait until next week. So last night I went 2 a party 2 play poker. And won some much needed money lol. But people were drinking and I had like 2 mikes and thats about it. I know its bad, but since im this early... Could it make a difference? I know I probley shouldnt have but it was much needed relaxation!
And going from drinking all the time and going 2 parties and totally stoping... Its kinda hard since im with all this stress

Drinking in the first 3 weeks of pregnnacy is like taking birthcontrol in the first weeks of pregnancy yes it is bad yes it is not okay... Butttt its not devasting and dont have a high risk in potential like injuries on the baby I got that out of what to expect when your expecting.... Everyone have it?

I made that mistake before I knew I was pregnant and I didnt know until I was about 6 weeks, yea it is bad but I drank pretty much every weekend if not more until I found out and then stopped when I found out but my little girl is fine.

Lol! I have that book! I read it up until the day I went into labour! Now I have "what to expect in the first 2 years: week by week" so helpful!!!!
As for drinking.... If u "think" ur pregnant, u still shouldnt drink just in case.

Yeah, trust me if you can prevent it you want to. I had a student that was a fetal alcohol syndrome kid and he was sooooo messed up. Not just physically, but mentally too. It's rare to have this kinda stuff happen, but you want to prevent it. He was a lot of work for me!
