Unexpected Pregnancy and Alcohol and Drugs

[Vimto4679]

Recently found out I am 6/7 weeks pregnant. During this time I have drank most weekends (more than the recommended amount) and recently been to a festival a taken various drugs recreationally (over four days, not something I have ever done before). Periods have been irregular for over a year. Before attending the festival I did a test to be safe after missing a period (common for me) and it was negative but after four positives tests post festival its pretty much confirmed. Worried about the effect of drugs and drinking on the baby. Has anyone got any advice or been through the same thing? Honest and transparent advice appreciated

If test was negative then baby most likely wasn't sharing your blood stream and won't be impacted. Implantation had probably not happened yet. I had a few drinks with my first as I didn't know and didn't test til my period was over a week late. She turned out to be a big healthy lump.

I too am in this position and am around 6 weeks. I spotted a couple of weeks ago and as my periods are irregular didn’t test until I was sick this weekend. I have been away for most of the summer and have been drinking VERY heavily and also smoking. I am booked in to see the doctor on Friday but am really concerned that I have done a lot of damage to the baby. I have read lots of different advise regarding the baby sharing my bloodstream and would love some advice too please.
