Just found out I'm pregnant...

[Comfeylala]

And am feeling absolutely sick with worry that I've been drinking and smoking in the last month (on holiday, with wine at meals, etc.).My partner is out on a very rare night out and any words of reassurance would be most appreciated...

Congratulations !!

Dont worry,plenty of babies are conceived on drunken holidays without any long lasting problems.

But now you know you can go down the healthy route, no smoking or drinking.Theres going to be a healthy little person born to you.

Thank you jaffacake - this will be no 2 if I don't miscarry (and have done a lot of that) and so very wanted...

It often happens, don't worry. Do remember that when you are 4 weeks pregnant (when you usually find out), you will actually have only ovulated about 2 weeks ago and it's less than a week since the blastocyst implanted. You can get a positive test a couple of days after implantation and after ovulation, before implantation, what you consume can't affect the developing baby much at all.

Congrats Comfeylala - lovely news.

I would echo jaffa's post - you'll be fine provided you jack in everything now. Loads of folk don't realise that they are pg until a fair few jars/fags have been taken.

Relax and enjoy your pregnancy.

Congrats yes i agree with jaffa, whats done is done prob why you conceived in first place all chilled and relaxed on holiday now you have the bfp you can make changes to be healthy

I did a test on the Thurs - neg. Went on TWO xmas parties and got slaughtered over weekend.

Took test on Monday - pos!! I was terrified.

Nine months later a perfect baby popped out

Don't worry it'll be fine. Lots and lots of congratulations

Aww great news Congrats!!

I too worried about this with my DD but everything was fine, time to cut it all out now tho ay.
Hopefully ill be joining you soon :-)

Thank you all so much. I'm going to bed now to hug my secret but your 'right now' support has meant an awful lot.

Afternoon all,

I've just found out I'm pregnant. We weren't even trying, just thought we'd 'stop being careful' and it seems just ONCE was all it took!

Very pleased in some ways, but utterly panicked about the financial implications. Eeek!

Congrats!!!

Don't worry. There are loads of people who this happens to and the baby is fine.

Good luck!! And to the others on here who are pregnant too!

Congratulations!

Don't worry, nearly everyone I know has got drunk immediately before they get a BFP, it's weird!

I tested on the day AF was due - BFN. Went to a wedding and got absolutely sloshed, I drank about a bottle of champagne plus another of wine . Five days later, BFP!
