How much is too much?

Question

We just found out yesterday that we are pregnant with our first baby!!! So excited!!
I do have one concern. The last few weeks (not sure, but Glow says I might be 5 weeks) I have drank casually. And when I say that, I mean I've drank maybe 3 days out of those few weeks. Is it bad if I had a couple of glasses of wine in one sitting?

Answer

No thats not too much. The limit is 2 glasses though but you're baby is probably fine because it's early on. Of course just don't have any more and don't stress about it. Congratulations!!

Answer

No i did the same and found out i was pregnant at 5 weeks

Answer

I drank before I knew I was pregnant. At that point the fertilized egg hasn't even attached yet so its,fine.

Answer

You're fine, baby isn't really exposed to what you ingest until week 5-6. They're getting all their nutrients from the yolk sack :)

Answer

I don't think that it will have any affect on the baby, just don't do it again 😊

Answer

I read some where that the placenta doesn't fully form until 6 weeks (not 100% sure if it's true or not) but your blood doesn't affect baby until the placenta is formed and that's why it's not a huge deal when women find out a few weeks in and they have had a few drinks. Again not 100% on it just read it someplace

Answer

It's fine. Just make sure you stop drinking nkw that you're pregnant. I got completely hammered 2 days before I got my positive. It happens a lot

Answer

You're fine. I drank a lot before I found out I was pregnant, and didn't found out until 6 weeks with an emergency ultrasound. I had a small placental abruption but it had nothing to do with drinking. I was very active in biking and other sports and got hit in the stomach a week prior.

My son is now 5 and healthy.
