Questions and Answers About Pregnancy

Q: I consumed some alcohol before I knew I was pregnant. Should I take any special precautions or have any extra tests?

A: This is not an unusual situation. Because we know alcohol enters the unborn baby’s circulation, many pregnant women worry that they may have caused harm to the baby because they drank before realizing they were pregnant. Effects of alcohol are dose-related to some extent. If you drank very heavily and often before you discovered you were pregnant, the effects on the baby are potentially greater than if you drank too much on one occasion or drank lightly on several occasions.

There are no extra tests during pregnancy that can tell you if your baby is affected. The usual observations made by your doctor or midwife (such as height measurements, heart rate monitoring, and possibly ultrasound) can detect some problems, such as growth retardation, that are sometimes associated with alcohol use. Observations of the baby after birth will allow a clearer assessment of the baby’s condition.  Read more...
