So I haven't even completely decided what I will do, as this is a bit unexpected. I tested yesterday and got a very faint positive second line (it was nearly invisible, but it was there). I cannot remember the exact date of my last period but it was 3-4 weeks ago, maybe 7 or 8 June but really can't be sure.
I was feeling a bit queasy and had had unprotected sex, so I half suspected something was up, but went round to a friend's for their birthday a few days ago and definitely had a bottle and a bit of Prosecco in total. I had also had somewhat more moderate alcohol around a week before. I feel like an idiot for the other day, but at the time I decided that I was probably being overly paranoid about things and threw caution to the wind...until the test. Regardless of what I end up doing, if I decide to keep the baby I am super worried about the impact of this. I have had friends who haven't realised they were pregnant who drank in the first month and were fine, but I have also done a lot of googling, which has not been my friend, and read stories about even week 4 being a crucial time for development where an embryo can be really affected by intake. Apparently it's almost a worse stage to drink heavily early on than it is later, which was not what I had assumed AT.ALL. I think in a lot of other respects I would be OK at doing this if I decided to keep it (I would most likely be doing things by myself). But I am panicking about this, especially as I spoke with my GP and they just said it was too early to say if any damage had been done and that it happens a lot - again, I was expecting a slightly more breezy reply. Anyway, obviously I will not have any now but I am stresssed.
