Drinking Alcohol Before You Knew You Were Pregnant: What You Need to Know

Alcohol before I knew I was pregnant. So you drank alcohol before you knew you were pregnant. You're NOT ALONE.

According to most online sources, no amount of alcohol is safe during pregnancy. But what if you didn't know you were pregnant? 45% of women drink alcohol in the 1st trimester of their pregnancy. That is because you wont get a positive pregnancy test until you are at least 2 weeks. Then there are those of us with irregular cycles or that were on birth control or that weren't trying to get pregnant, Those are the situations that make it possible for women not to know they are pregnant until 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks or even more.

It's really scary to know the effects that alcohol can have on a fetus, even in very early pregnancy. Alcohol can cause miscarriage, fetas alcohol syndrome and other abnormalities.

In this video I'll lay down the facts and information I collected from trusted sources.

Hang in there momma you're most likely OK.
