Really scared, drank alcohol while pregnant

Scared!!!

I found out I was pregnant relatively early, on the 22nd day after
conception.

What really worries me is that I had three drinking episodes. I had
the 4 glasses of wine on the 14th day of pregnancy, 4 glasses on the
17th, and another three glasses on the 18th. In all three instances I
consumed those drinks while dinning. No more Alcohol after I found
out.

Could anybody give me some advice as to what the worst case scenario
for my baby would be?. I've deeply regretted having those drinking
episodes, but my real worry is that I read on the Internet that as
even one or two drinks a day could result in significant structural
damage.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation

Worst case? Fetal alcohol syndrome... Birth defects...

Interesting PubMed abstract title...

BMJ. 2004 Aug 14;329(7462):368.

French wine makers face legal action over birth defects.

Burgermeister J.


How LIKELY are birth defects after a few wine drinking "episodes"? I don't
know.

How likely is fetal alcohol syndrome after a few wine drinking "episodes"?
Again, I don't know.


I'm not recommending wine drinking during pregnancy but...

My recollection is that the mother of my eldest children enjoyed a few
glasses of wine now and then during both pregnancies - and the children
seemed to turn out fine.

BTW, congratulations on your pregnancy.

If only the medical priests would worry as much about closing birth canals
up to 30% and keeping birth canals closed when babies get stuck as they do
about fetal alcohol syndrome...

Vanishingly small odds in both cases.

Agreed. But given that the original post was cross-posted to three
different abortion groups, including one in the notorious talk.
hierarchy, I would also be inclined to apply the phrase "vanishingly
small odds" to its legitimacy.

That would be why I trimmed the distribution list ;-)

I would never consider an abortion, no matter what.

hopefully, you'd support every woman's right to make the same
personal/medical decision

Why would she since she is NOT for that option for herself?

I know you're insane, Wentzky, but this is pretty pathetic even for you. What
part of "personal/medical decision" do you have problems with? Keegan's for
the woman being allowed to make her own choice, nothing more, nothing less.
It's your royal ****-up of a mind that made the assumption that he's talking
only about abortion.

You want to keep your baby killer;s line out of this thread?

Still pretending you've got authority over anything?

This woman does NOT want an abortion.

So? She's choosing to give birth -- what's the problem?

GO AWAY MURDEROUS ASSHOLE!

If you're so sure Keegan's a murderer, why haven't you reported him, hmmm?

NOPE! It does NOT work that way.

It does in reality. (Not that you'd ever know from experience.)

This woman will NOT get an abortion, and I hope she will be against other
women getting abortions.

You don't have any say in whether any woman makes the choice to abort or not.
Get used ot it, unless you really like being beaten senseless. (Oops. You're
already there.)

Lots of women do not enjoy being whores. LOL!!!!!!!!!

....which has what to do with the discussion, precisely?

Think about it. Women will stop aborting when they realize how much they are
being played as sex toys by Pro-Choicers.

Women will continue to make their own choices and ignore one psychotic moron
in Anderson, SC -- because they're smarter and saner than you. End of story.

it's one of my 'pet peeves'

when someone posts "are you going to the beach to" type thing... I feel
like ripping open my computer screen, climbing in and giving them some
spare o's!!!

Sue - guilty of changing a word/not using it if she's not sure on the
correct grammar lol
