[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's totally reasonable to assume that a baby born to a woman in crisis (adoption) is much more likely to have FASD. I don't know anyone who drank while they were pregnant. My doctor also said drinking before you miss your period isn't going to cause FASD.[/quote]

I think you missed where I said that is what I did and my child has FAS. I was told the same thing.[/quote]

How much did you drink and when did you find out you were pregnant? I've never heard of that before. The placenta doesn't form until 8 weeks, I believe.[/quote]

Found out at 5 weeks. While I did not think it was much at the time - brunches, girls night out, book club, bachelorette party weekend, trip - I now know that it was.[/quote]

Was your pregnancy a surprise and potentially you didn't date the pregnancy correctly? Or your period was irregular? I'm sorry PP, that sucks. It sounds like you could not have done anything differently, short of not drinking, because the medical advice out there says you are fine until 8 weeks. Now, I only drank 2 alcoholic beverages that were freaking me out when the doctor assured me it would be fine, but he even said that full blown alcoholics have babies born without FAS. Are you sure that the diagnosis is correct? [/quote]

yes, a surprise, dated by ultrasound at 5 weeks. It is true that not all exposures cause the same impacts. they do not know why. [/quote]

You said earlier you didn't know until 7 weeks.  So how did you have an ultrasound that dated the pregnancy at 5 weeks?  Almost no one gets ultrasounds that early, particularly when it's a surprise pregnancy (in part because almost no one has symptoms that early).[/quote]

Took positive preg test at five weeks, ultrasound at 7 weeks, which let me figure out I was 5 weeks at time I took test. [/quote]
