I found out I was pregnant at about 14 weeks and I drink rather frequently. Has anyone been here and should I freak out? I stopped drinking all the way and id say I drink about 3 times a week before I found out. I am so worried please help

How come you only found out when you were almost 4 months along?? Unfortunately drinking during the first trimester can have serious effects on the baby. That is when fetal alcohol syndrome comes into play. Were you drinking a lot? Hard liquor or beer? I don't know what to tell you to help ease your mind.

I was practicing safe sex I thought with depo provera so I dont have a period anyways and I drink liquor not beer. I had an ultrasound and the doc said the baby looked fine and it had a excellent heartbeat has anyone ever experienced this?

No one can tell youwhat a safe amount is during pregnancy. But you cant change the past. Whats important is that you take the best care possable now. Many women have had healthy pregnancies when they drank during pregnancy. At least the doctor had some reassuring info for you!
