I just found out I was pregnant..?

Question

We have been trying for 8 months, and my doctor told me that I was no able to get pregnant, he didn't feel that I was ovulating. I was supposed to start Chlomid this week. I found out on Saturday night we were expecting, and last week when I felt as though I was starting my period I took four midol over the course of a day. I've also had a few alcoholic beverages in the past weeks. According to my doctor I am 6 weeks along today. Have I potentially caused any harm to the baby? I'm not a drinker, or a pill popper and obviously won't take either again.

Answer 1

you're probably fine!  my best friend didn't know she was pregnant and drank and also took otc pain meds...it didn't harm her baby at all.  she stopped immediately...so i imagine you're ok!!

Answer 2

Your baby will not be harmed as long as you stop drinking and such now. I had quite a few alcoholic beverages with my first child and then found out 3 weeks later I was pregnant, and my 2 1/2 year old is fine and healthy and always has been.  

Answer 3

Your baby will be just fine, most of us had a few drinks not knowing we were pregnant relax enjoy and congrats!!

Answer 4

Congrats first of all...No, you're still early on that a few alcholic beverages most likely wont harm ur baby..the problems come when you are constantly popping pills and drinking..but no more MIDOL or drinks or anything else..take it easy as well! good luck!!

Answer 5

This has happened to most of us who weren't expecting to get pregnant so don't worry. Having alcoholic beverages a few random times when you didn't know, are not going to do long term damage to the baby (Although I would definitely recommend not drinking any more). Also, the midol should not be an issue. 4tabs/1day shouldnt be a problem.  

Answer 6

When my grandmother was pregnant with my mom, back then it was okay to drink alchoholic beverages. So I'm guessing you baby is fine. Deffinatley not something to keep risking though. Congratulations and Good Luck!

Answer 7

I drank at 6 weeks on an all inclusive vacation because I had no clue I was pregnant.  I took the test when I came back and freaked out.  I also had had a bad cold and took Mucinex and antibiotics on vacation, which all turned out to be ok.  The doctor said as long as I stopped drinking when I found out it was fine.  

I've focused so much now on eating healthy and taking my vitamins it made me worry a lot less.  Your baby will be fine.  Relax and be excited.  You're pregnant! Congratulations!

Answer 8

Most likely your baby will be just fine...midol should not really affect anything, and I drank when I was first pregnant because i had no idea i was pregnant and my baby was just fine. I wouldnt worry about it...if it was other than MIDOL maybe a tiny concern, but midol is nothing to worry about!
