Just got bfp but have drunk loads for two weeks

[bigkidsdidit]

Eek!

This month we've had a wedding , family lunches, two work nights out, and a couple of glasses at home

Felt a bit odd so just did a test and am pregnant again

I'm delighted as DS is 20mo and har been thinking about it but now anxious about my boozing

Anyone any advice?

Very common. I wouldn't worry about it too much, if you're just a few weeks along, there's no placenta for alcohol to cross, anyhow.

A couple of days before I found out I was pregnant, I went on a huge bender at works and drank so much voddy I puked (I wasn't late yet).

[bigkidsdidit]

Thanks

I didn't know that about the placenta - shall look up

I guess I just need something to worry about and am settling on this!

[SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood]

Congratulations :o

Btw I love your username, been meaning to add you to those "favourite username" threads but never remember at the right opportunity

[bigkidsdidit]

Aw thanks

[shrimponastick]

Aww.. I wouldn't worry about it. I am all the alcohol drinking is how a lot of pregnancies occur in the first place.

Congratulations by the way!!

I had a large glass of white wine and a bottle of Becks after work and then did a pregnancy test when I got home. Positive!

[bigkidsdidit]

Thanks all

Have decided to stop worrying about it right now seeing as I can't do anything about it. Will buy some folic acid and try to get my head round having two

I was a 70+ units a week kind of gal and the night before I did a test completely expecting it to be negative I had a couple of gin and tonics and a bottle of red, ds1 is completely fine and I know lots of my friends who didn't find out until quite late and straight after Christmas etc. Congratulations

When I had DC1 I was only really 'dating' his dad and we thought we were being careful. Effectively we spent our time drinking and erm ... shagging! He was a bar manager and we drank a lot!! I found out at 12 weeks and had been drinking heavily throughout that time and DS is fine. I daren't touch another drop for the rest of my pregnancy. I'm sure everything will be fine.

[ICompletelyKnowAboutGuineaPigs]

For the record and just in case someone knows my mn name I don't behave like this normally, just had a mad few months which just 'happened' to coincide with DSs surprising conception!

[Secondsop]

Try not to worry. It happens to most people apart from those who have sworn off alcohol whilst trying to conceive. I got completely hammered at least 3 times between conception and finding out I was pregnant.
