Q:I've just found out I'm pregnant,but I went out drinking several times before I knew I was expecting.Will this have harmed my unborn baby?
A:Try not to panic.Many women have been in the same situation as you and have gone on to have perfectly healthy babies.Ideally,it's best to avoid alcohol altogether when you're pregnant.But health watchdog NICE says if you do choose to drink,wait until after 12 weeks,then limit it to no more than one or two units once or twice a week.What's important now is that you stay as healthy as possible for the rest of your pregnancy.
