[Submitted Question]

My doctor just told me that I am pregnant. I had no idea and it was a complete surprise. Last week I went to a party and had a couple of drinks. Now I am worried that I hurt the baby. Is there anything I can do now to fix this?

It is perfectly safe to have a few drinks before you know you are pregnant. At this point in pregnancy, the embryo is free floating and is not connected to the uterus so it is less sensitive to things you take into your body. Now that you know you are pregnant, you should consume little or no alcohol as this gets into the placenta and umbilical cord and your baby will be exposed to the alcohol. The primary thing we are worrying about is fetal alcohol syndrome which happens generally when a woman consumes alcohol regularly during the pregnancy.

You took the drink at a very earlier or initial stage of pregnancy so there is no need to worry at all Just relax and if you are not satisfied then consult your Doctor.He could give better answer!
