A member asked:

I just found out i was pregnant. but last week before i knew anything, i was engaged in heavy drinking.did that effected my baby in any way?

Likely not: But from now on you should abstain from drinking any alcohol for the rest of the pregnancy. Make sure to see your obstetrician for prenatal care. Good luck!
