Finding out pregnant

I have just found out I'm 7 weeks pregnant. The night before I found out I had a few glasses of wine.
Now I am freaking out I have harmed the baby because I have had a miscarriage in the past.
How much harm have I put my baby in?

Absolutely none. Your baby is practically a cluster of cells that have just formed.

From now on, just don’t have alcohol but this hasn’t harmed your baby one bit :)

Congrats and good luck!

I think I've had one big drinking night with 3 out of 4 pregnancies (before I knew) and all were fine. My eldest is 23 and I used to have a shandy every now and then throughout the pregnancy as it was thought to be OK to have one drink every now and then. You will be fine!

I didn’t find out I was pregnant until I was 9 weeks. In those 9 weeks I was having pretty full on benders from thursday to Sunday every week. I was enjoying my 20’s, drinking drugs and smoking. I was mortified when I found out and asked the doctor what the effects would be and he said that in the early weeks the pregnancy is very protected and has little impact on the foetus.
Some women take every precaution when trying to get pregnant and after becoming pregnant yet they miscarry. Other women engage in alcohol and drug abuse regularly and go on to have a baby with minor health implications. Usually a miscarriage is due to non viability and very little to do with what you do or don’t do.
Relax and enjoy. Congrats!
