I am 14 weeks pregnant and have binged on alcohol 12 times. 3-6 ounces every time. I am talking with my doctor this week but would like to know if there is any way to test for problems with the fetus? I know what I have done is horrible, but have stopped and am getting professional help. Any information would be appreciated.

I don't think it's to terribly affective but the first trimester is the critical point for a developing fetus. 3-6 ozs. of alcohol over a period of 12 times is not a good idea when your expecting but your obgyn can sum it up for you.
I am NOT encouraging you to drink but i have a few friends, (not anymore) who drank pretty regularly while pregnant and their babies were fine.
A perfect example is my mother. Back in the 50's being an un wed mother was un heard of and kept hush hush. She was a heavy drinker and drank pretty much until i was born. To keep her tummy concealed, she used to wear a spandex girdle, can you believe that????
I was due on Christmas Day, 1956 but came two weeks before and weighed a whopping 6 pounds, no health problems at birth. I do have a bit of ADD and a touch of OCD, but other than that, (if thats not enough) i'm all good.
