Should be fine: Millions of women have had a few drinks before finding out they were pregnant and there is no evidence that it causes any harm. But now that you know that your are pregnant it is especially wise to avoid alcohol in the first trimester. An occasional drink later in pregnancy is ok unless your baby has difficulty metabolizing alcohol. See http://www.Babycentre.Co.Uk/a3542/alcohol-during-pregnancy.

Maybe: The best advice for women of child bearing age is to avoid alcohol & tobacco altogether while trying to conceive. Recent articles indicate any alcohol exposure during any time in pregnancy increases the risk of learning disabilities, adhd, and other neurodevelopmental disabilities. In your case the risk is low, depending on the susceptibility of the embryonic brain to the toxic effects of alcohol.
