Default Re: Pregnant GF

Just a sidenote, I wouldn't worry about any damage from the drinking. Most women don't know they're pregnant until six weeks or so and continue to drink. You're unlikely to do major damage during the first eight weeks or so. Alcohol effects the brain, and the baby/fetus doesn't have much of a brain to damage at that point.

In addition, drinking after the first few weeks isn't advisable but is unlikely to cause a miscarriage. Almost all early miscarriages aren't "caused" by anything that the mother does (or doesn't do). They just happen.

If she's still smoking, though.... that's messed up.
