Hey.

Basically, I have been having unproctected sex this month, even on my most fertile days. I am aware that I could possibly be pregnant. My period is due on the 13th of this month.

However, my birthday is the day after... on the 14th. If my period hasn't came by then I was going to take a pregnancy test on my birthday.

I do have big birthday plans however and was wondering if the test was positive and I went out and got really drunk on my birthday would this have any affect to the baby so early on in the pregnancy???

Or would I be best off with soft drinks?


Thank you for any advice. oxo

ANYONE?

Are you trying to get pregnant or just being an idiot? Either way if you're pregnant, don't drink! Its disgusting to put alcohol before the health of your potential child.

Lol, OP it seems like your main concern is having to have an alcohol-free night out as opposed to the fact you potentionally have a baby growing inside of you You sicken me.

OP you sound a bit silly. You don't care that you're pregnant, only if you can drink alcohol? Get your priorities right.

[Anonymous]

Umm... not at all, hence why I asked if I should stick to soft drinks???!!! :-S

I just am genuinely unaware if alcohol can damage a potential baby this early on? If so, I shall stick to soft drinks like I have considered!!

Take your judgemental comments and shove them up your _ _ _ _. They have no place on a forum like this where people are asking for advice.
You can fill in the blanks.

Take one of those clear blue tests where it tells you if you're pregnant a week before your missed period.

Your response wasn't exactly helpful to OP's situation Quite frankly, the fact she sounded so casual about being pregnant and then focused entirely on whether she could have alcohol just has alarm bells ringing.

Yes maybe casual because I am trying! The last thing I would want to do is put risk to the baby.

I understand alcohol can have serious affects on an unborn baby but am unsure if it does SOOO early on and that is why I asked.

Casual? There is thousands of questions expectant mothers want answers to, isn't it better she asks rather than goes as gets drunk and harms the baby?
And you wonder why people are scared to ask things when they get responses like the one you post.

youre putting going out on the lash above your potential baby ... thats, and this is putting it very mildly, an incredibly callous thing to do ...

[Ponderous]

So you are trying for a baby OP?
If your big birthday is below the age of 21 I wouldn't recommend trying for a baby now anyway, not saying you'd make a bad mother, just that there is a lot of life left to live without a baby - gorgeous though children are they are expensive, messy and time consuming.

However, yes you should definitely stick to soft drinks. A foetus is most affected by alcohol in the first 3 months, you could even cause a miscarriage if you ingest too much alcohol in the early stages of pregnancy. Any drinking during pregnancy is not recommended (one glass of wine a week seems to be the limit if you cannot go without alcohol) otherwise you are putting your child at risk of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome as well as lots of other developmental problems.

You should also be taking folic acid suppliments and try and cut down/remove caffine from your diet if you intent to go through with the pregnancy.

'Or would i be best sticking to soft drinks?'
Implies she isn't, she is asking if alcohol will affect the baby, and if it will, she will stick to coke.

Maybe schools should teach people to read a little better..

Thanks for the back up... seems most people on here have not read my full first post correctly!

Thankyou for other serious replies which answer my question about alcohol.

If the test does show positive, I shall be sticking to lemonade and coke all night I do not mind having an 'alcohol free' birthday if it means a healthy baby.

Of course it would be bad to go out and get drunk whilst pregnant, even that early on in your pregnancy.

[Nix-j-c]

I think alcohol would have the worst affect on a foetus so young . . . It's still bad but a drop of weak alchocol a few days before your due date would probably not do very much but is still not good for him/her but when a baby could be this young then it's soo weak and vunerable.
