Worried about alcohol before BFP..

[Bunnikins]

Hi all, hope you can help.

I got my BFP yesterday at 10DPO, which i am very happy about! I am worried now though. Ive just been away and ive drunk a fair bit of wine over the last few days...

I wouldnt normally do this, but we werent trying this month, so i honestly didnt expect to be pregnant,.. in fact i am still confused as to how its happened!

I had half a bottle on Monday night (which would be 8 DPO) and 2 glasses on tuesday night (9DPO). Im just worried this might have been harmful.

Does alcohol affect anything if you have it in the 2ww? I know the pregnancy was probably not actually in the womb at this point.. so im probably worrying about nothing.. especially when you think that there are women who dont find out they r preg til much later on than i did..

Did anyone else drink alcohol before they got their surprise BFP? and were u ok?

I got totally drunk before my BFP as it was my birthday, day after my birthday was due on couldnt wait so done a test and I had a BFP and she is completely fine, i had a few mouthfuls of guiness when i was in dublin and baby loved it lol but other then that havent touched a drop even though 1 of my cravings is beer lol

I think you'll be fine. The baby is still implanting and shouldn't hurt a thing. Good for you for being a concerned mommy though! Congrats!

You don't share blood with the baby until about three weeks after ovulation, so no need to worry xx

You'll be fine! I got so drunk I fell over twice in the 2 weeks working up to getting my bfp!

Don't worry hun, same thing happened to me. Months of trying, went on holiday for 10 days, drinking wine and cider most nights and tested when I got home, just before drinking the final bottle of magners .... the rest is history now.

I just stopped drinking as soon as I got BFP at about 10dpo I think it was. You'll be fine.

It's usually not an issue at all, unless you're continuing to drink throughout the pregnancy or drinking consistently. If you're not drinking anymore, now that you got your BFP, I can just about guarantee that it has caused no harm. By the way, I did some drinking the day before I got my BFP... I thought it was hilarious, though. I hadn't had a drink since December because we decided to start TTC in January. Then, in April, I gave up on having a baby and drank... and got a BFP the next day. lol

In the US, for example, HALF of all pregnancies are unplanned. Of all these ladies, think about how many women drink pretty regularly (keeping in mind these were women who weren't planning to be pregnant). I guess what I am saying is if drinking before a BFP was detrimental to the fetus, wouldn't about one in three people walking around be affected? just food for thought.

I used to have a few drinks (sometimes alot more) every single night and was drunk at least 3 times prior to getting my BFP which I got at 5 weeks (4 days before I found out I was pregnant I had a night out with my sister and polished off 2 bottle of wines and a bottle of Baileys between us - oops.) Doctor told me its nothing to worry about. x

The week before I got my with Joshua I had my hen weekend to say I was drunk is an understatement for three days straight! And I now have a beautiful 8 month old. It didn't effect him at all! As long as you stay off the booze now you will be ok I would say xxxxxxxxxxx
