I am amazed being Mrs sensible I have even found myself posting this.

I have just found out I am pregnant.

I was out drinking with friends mistake 1 but most people will have been drunk before finding out they are pregnant!! This I'm fine with and drinking stops.

However the group of people I was with were doing coke. Not a bother to me, it's their life.

However there were canapés on offer which I thought nothing of and ate. One of the guys had put some on a flipping salmon snack?!!!! He says wasn't a lot, less than a line or thereabouts (I'm not a coke user so I've no idea what a line would look like quantity wise) anyway I did feel the effects of it. I have no idea if I was off my head or just a little bit high.

The morals and issues with that aside (he has been dealt with) I'm worried what that will have done to the development of a five week old baby?! Such a small amount as a one off I would have hoped would not cause an issue I hope however Dr Google tells me I'm going to hell and have done irreparable damage. I don't want to raise this to my gp as it'll be put on my record as I'm a user when I'm not at all.

Has anyone done this during early pregnancy and if so what were the consequences For you/baby.

I really don't need the judging etc as it's not needed. my biggest concern at the time is that I still bf my youngest (nearly two years old) occasionally at night and I've temporarily stopped as I've no idea how long it takes to leave your body. None of these people are regular users, city workers letting loose but have learnt a lesson from this I hope. They now know I'm still bf but not that I'm pregnant.

Firstly this story is absolute rubbish! No way would you feel “off your head” from such a small amount sprinkled over canapés. However, to put your mind at ease, there is no scientific evidence it causes serious damage in first few weeks of pregnancy, however it can increase risk of miscarriage and if used frequently throughout and especially in last couple of months of pregnancy can cause problems with growth and development, behavioural problems, SIDS and cause baby to be born addicted to drugs.

And secondly this thread is over three years old!! I don't think OP needs you to put her mind at ease...

Hi, so please don’t judge first of all...
so I’ve recently found out I am pregnant- almost 12 weeks!! ❤️ When my partner and I went to the booking apt, she asked if we had taken any recreational drugs, my partner said he smokes weed occasionally (By occasionally it’s not even twice a year, but he made it sound really bad) and he also told them he had recently had magic mushrooms 🙄 he was on a stag do in Amsterdam and some of the lads shared some.. I am now PASSED my self as I feel like he painted himself/us out to be full time drug users and I’m now very concerned that when that info gets passed on to the health visitor she’s going to refer us to social services or something !! I really feel like that information he shared could have just got left unsaid... I am FREAKING out!!! Please help?! Any advice?! 😫😫

Your partner needs an ultimatum: completely quit all illegal drugs or he's out.
