Unplanned pregnancy, drank until 5 weeks pregnant.

Hey everyone,
Last Saturday, I unexpectedly got a positive test. I'm extremely worried because I've consumed a lot of alcohol in the past few weeks. I often drink two glasses of wine in the evening and sometimes more during family visits on weekends. I think I'm about 6 weeks pregnant now, but up until 5 weeks, I had quite a bit of alcohol. Now I'm really scared that I've already caused serious harm to the baby, maybe even FAS. Are there any other moms with similar experiences who could reassure me? Greetings, anxious mama-to-be. (P.S. I stopped drinking immediately once I knew I was pregnant.)

    No worries!
    Of course... better not to worry... You've stopped now and that's fine. Luckily, the baby doesn't get all its nutrients from you in the first few weeks. However, substances do enter the baby's bloodstream. Over the first few weeks, opinions are still divided on how much harm it can do.
    Hey... you've stopped. And it's definitely not good to be stressed. In short... take good care of yourself from now on... that's all you can do. You didn't know. The chances of everything going well are very high. And if something does go wrong, it's not your fault.
    Toitoi for the coming weeks!!
