I just had a positive pregnancy test. My last period was Jan 21, I drank alcohol before I knew. I am worried. What should I do?

Hello Ma'am,

First, congratulations on the good news! 👍

Be aware that the situation you are describing now has been experienced by several women in the past (of not knowing they were pregnant when they took a few drinks of alcohol).

In such a case, the most important thing is not to stress (it's not for you and your baby) and just make sure you don't have any more alcoholic drinks for the rest of your pregnancy.

Also, don't forget to start supplementing with folic acid if you haven't already.

Happy evening,
