Recently found out I'm pregnant but I'm worried about my drinking

[rab101]

Hi, I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and really worried Iv done some damage as I was drinking up until 5 weeks (when I found out) and obviously I have stopped drinking now.
The news was abit of a surprise but a good one!
I had been drinking a glass of wine or a vodka and coke a few times a week every week. And there have been two occasions where I had 3 glasses of wine, and on another day 2 vodkas. So not huge amounts and I haven't felt drunk but this is my first pregnancy and I can't stop thinking about it Iv been loosing sleep. I have spoken to my Dr and she said not to worry as it's so early on - but I can't help but worry!
I'm sure they are many others that have been in my situation so any advice would be greatly welcome. Thanks

The first week to 10 days after conception your baby was floating around in your fallopian tubes and not even in contact with you. Whilst it has now butties itself into the endometrium, the placenta hasn't yet formed and started to work, so your baby still is pretty protected. It is still living off the yolk in the yolk sac. Small amounts of alcohol are highly unlikely to have done any harm at all. Please stop worrying.

Congratulations. Your baby won’t have formed an umbilical cord until you are 6 weeks so don’t worry. Think of all the ladies who don’t find out they are pregnant until they are 8 or 9 weeks (or later) many of them will have been drinking and go on to have perfectly healthy babies :) don’t stress, now that you know you’re pregnant you are doing the right thing!

I found out I was pregnant with my son whilst i was hungover from a very wild night, I was actually 6 weeks pregnant by then and that was the 3rd time I'd been drunk in them 6 weeks (big birthday celebrations) I WAS MORTIFIED!! I cried telling my midwife but she was so lovely and explained most of what PP said. I went on to have a very straight forward pregnancy and he is now 2 years old

Try not to worry! Congratulations n good luck

Thank for all your replies.
I'm feeling abit better about things but still finding it hard to deal with. I'm speaking to my Dr on Monday and I also have MW appointment on The 18th so hoping they are reassuring!
