So very worried

[Vickyy]

Hi ladies, I'm confused about my conception dates!
I dated my pregnancy from my last lmp which was 30th march with edd 4th jan, but had a scan on the 27th may and they said I was 7w2d then I had another on the 4th July and that one said I was 12w 6d with edd 10th Jan! So when did I concieve?

I got my BFP on the 5th may -

The only reason I ask is cos I went out on the 24th of April and drank 2 bottles of wine, and I'm worried I've hurt the baby

Please help me figure this out and put my mind at rest

By your first scan's due date you would have conceived some time between April 9th and 17th.
And with the second scans due date you would have conceived some time between April 15th and 23rd.
Either way you would have been so newly pregnant that the wine wouldn't have hurt the baby, it probably wouldn't have even implanted by that date so wouldn't have even been sharing your blood supply so have the alcohol go anywhere near it.
I had been heavily drinking just a couple of days before I got my BFP and my doctor told me not to worry, that early would have no effect on the baby.
Now at nearly 24 weeks bubs is perfect healthy with 5 scans to prove it.

As for what due date to go off of from those scans I'm not sure which to go for, I would go with whatever your health care provider is putting down as your due date in your notes.

Don't worry about it, baby should be fine.

When I was pregnant with DS, I drank multiple shots of vodka the week before I tested. I also social smoked.

This time around, I had a few vodka drinks, and then I smoked up until a week after I found out.

My son turned out just fine. I'm sure this lo will turn out fine too.

I had smoked cigarettes up until half an hour before I took my test. I wouldn't worry. Doctors are happy with how my baby is on scans and as soon as I found out it must have only took one more cigarette and I quit.

In fact I've seen on NHS website a couple of units of wine per week isn't harmful to baby. Obviously none is better. But if they're a little more lenient on wine intake then if day you're safe even if it was a couple more units than 2/3, I wouldn't worry.

Doesn't baby take nutrients off the yolk sac until the placenta and umbilical cord is more developed?? So it's less likely your baby was affected by the alcohol.


As for dates in useless!

I'm in the same situation as you. About three weeks before I found out I drank alot on an anniversary. I took a HPT before I drank but it was negative so I drank. Three weeks I took a test before heading to a retirement party and it was positive! I was so scared for so long that I had possibly hurt my baby but the the time I had my doc appointment I was 6w and doc says everything looks very healthy and it was too early to have any effect on the baby.
I am now 14w1d and have had three scans that show a very healthy baby! My doc wasn't worried cause he said the baby and I were not sharing the same blood and I would have been barely a week or two along ( technically just before implantation)

as for dates, same here. My lmp was march 10 but doc said at first appt I was 6w and at second (two weeks later) I was nearly 9w, either way my LMP dates are way off but doc said it could have been due to this huge cyst that I had that could have delayed my period and somehow I either ovulated before my period was due or fertilization happened late in my cycle which is very uncommon but possible. The date I am sticking with is Jan. 10 but both my boy were early by nearly 3w and 8 &9 pound babies!! So doc and I are discussing the possibility of induction at 38w (december 27-30) but we are watching the baby's weight to decide. (I have a feeling he/she will be here early on its own sometime in December.
hope this helps. Good luck

As others have said I wouldn't worry about the wine as it was early, and since you've had scans, it shows that baby is so far healthy right? I don't know what to say about your EDD, My OB told me my EDD is December 5 but the due date is whenever baby decides to come. Either way it doesn't sound like your EDD are too far from each other.

Yeah I feel a little bit better about it now! It seems I've concieved late enough in the month for the baby to have barley implanted yet! Some time between the 12th and 19th of April I think!

Thanks ladies
