Hi Riffroof... welcome to AMHD,

It would be very unlikely for there to be a problem. Of course it would not be something to continue in pregnancy. Enjoy your pregnancy... wishing you a smooth journey!

I have to spread the rep, but I agree with Doula.

At this early stage of your pregnancy, your drinking most likely didn't have any effect on your baby. But, it's not wise to continue drinking now that you know you're pregnant.

Take your prenatal vitamins, see your OBGYN when you're scheduled, and relax. It's highly unlikely that you caused any harm. :)

Congrats, and keep us updated. You're in for a tough ride, but the reward, well, it's something you can't describe until you experience it. It's totally worth it.

Just fyi, I drank before I found out I was pregnant with both of my kids. I also smoked. I quite both when the pregnancy test came back positive. Both of my kids are not only healthy, but they're great. They're a joy, and a blessing. I know yours will be as well. :)
