My ex-gf is 31 weeks pregnant...yesterday she drank alot of alcohol...i told her she shouldnt because of the baby and at first she said that she will only drink a glass of wine, which i thought it was allright but then she started to drink more and more...i tried everything in fact i only drank a bottle of beer to not make her feel left out...after she got drunk she started to have some sort of pain like if she was in labour...i was gonna called the ambulance...but she kept telling me that it was allright that she didnt thought she was in labour... so we waited a few minutes like 10 and then the pain was gone...and she hasnt had pain anymore...
but im worried about the baby...do you think he is allright...whats gonna happen to my baby...
im very worried and i will be very upset if she has a miscarriage...is the baby gonna be allright?????

you need to get her help because this is dangerous for the baby she shouldnt be puttng her babys health at risk its very selfish i have to admit. the pain she experienced was the alcohol going to the baby, every time this happens the baby has a fit in the womb i read somewhere. that was the pain. she needs to stop drinking now or the baby will have risks of serious health problems and the baby will have to suffer and live with that for the rest of their life. i hope the baby is healthy for their sake, she doesnt deserve this baby sorry.

one night of drinking shouldn't kill the baby. but she needs to not ever do that again. i know its hard to not drink on holidays cuz everyone is. but she has to think about the baby. people mess up you know so i'm not gonna rag on her. **** happens. and at this point it wouldn't be a miscarriage but that the baby would die and she would have to have an abortion or induced to give birth to the dead baby. she needs to go to the dr if shes worried about CPS and such then she can wait until tomorrow when all the alcohol is out of her system. but if i were you i'd call the dr and talk to them. or call L&D you don't have to tell them your name when you call the hospital. so maybe they can give you some insight on what went on.i'm sure she was probably cramping due to all the alcohol.







p.s. i read an artical where they did a study about pregnant women drinking. they say a little here and there won't do any damage but binge drinking which is 5 or more a day will cause at the most learning disabilities.

In fact you would have know most of the answers you asked. I think the real question you should ask yourself or your girlfriend is why is she drinking so heavily when carrying a baby? Is something troubling her that cause her to do such risky thing and I guess she's definitely not out of her mind... and if she is, then something terrible might have happened that really caused her to behave in such extreme. If you truly want both your girlfriend and baby to be save then you must find the answers to the core of the problem before you can prevent a disaster from taking place. You don't need an answer here... your answer can only be found within both of you. Hope everything will turn out well eventually.

More than likely it was just that she was pushing it a bit physically as well - does she feel really tired today - moreso then usual then I would put it down to physical exertion. I would never encourage drinking during pregnancy but some people drink, take drugs etc and things are still fine, so I would have thought a one-off is unlikely to do any harm. I also read in literature when I was pregnant that it is actually more harmful in the first trimester.

i would ask her to go to the doctor to get checked out or even ring her midwife. i dont think she will have done that much damage since she only did it once but the pain is a little bit worrying. i dont think that this late in pregnancy it could do too much harm to the baby, still it wasnt a good idea though. make sure she still can feel the baby kick regularly and if she has any more pain take her to the hospital.

I'm not particularly experienced in childbirth, but my mother has been a midwife for about fourteen years now and they've always been told not to drink, smoke, take drugs while you're pregnant.

They might just be normal pains you get during pregnancy, but she should avoid getting drunk at all costs, so remind her that what she drinks, her baby drinks, so whatever happens to her, like if she gets completely smashed then it won't do her baby any good.

Just don't worry, and just tell her your concerns and just ask her not to get drunk, or not drink at all, because if she keeps on drinking and drinking and drinking it COULD harm her baby.



I hope that helped!

If she is like that now, what the hell is she going be like when she has the baby.If i was you talk to a doctor or midwife, i cannot tell you that your'e baby will be alright, but you baby will have had that drink going to him so i think you really need to sort this out now.Log on to some baby sites and they will tell you what drink does to a baby.She is a very selfish person to have done this she does not deserve a baby.

My son is 6 months old and I had problems like that I was 1 day late and I had a c-section but he was ok what Im trying to say is it could just be a water infection I had alot of them but she should go to the hospital for a check up just in case more so with her drinking last night aswell I was pregnant last new year and I couldn't drink and my sister in law so I know what it is like more so with other people around you drinking people kept asking us if we wanted a drink but we said no I made up for it though yesterday but yeah you should get your ex to go to hte hospital she could be in slow labour

Good Luck and all the best hope everything is ok

OMG what an awful selfish woman!! And why didnt you stop her from drinking? It sounds like you care for the baby in this question your asking but you didnt seem very concerned last night watching your pregnant ex-gf get tanked up!!

Too late to worry now you will have to wait till the birth! I feel really sorry for this child!!

Sounds like you both have an issue with alcohol...it is poison for the baby, ever hear of FAS, fetal alcohol syndrome? Everything the mother consumes goes thru the placenta. Irresponsibility is running rampant...

She has to go to the hospital to be checked, those pains sound strange, we cant tell you whats gona happen to the baby!!



.... She seems like a very stupid and selfish person so i wouldnt be surprised if she doesnt even go to the hospital. She is after doing a very stupid thing and if she cant hold back for 9 months, what kind of a mother is she going to be

Hopefully the baby is okay, keep a close eye on her, if she did it once, odds are she'll do it again. Affects from drinking alcohol during pregnancy may not be seen until the child is older, read up on it and be wary. Good luck to you, I'll keep you and your child in my prayers.

Me personally I think she should go get checked out!!!! How can she possibly think that its ok to drink any type of alcohol while pregnant is ok!!!! You're right to be worried!!! Im worried for you and that baby!!! She's very selfish to go and do something like that!!!



Im praying for you and that baby!!!

The pain may simply be gas. But ask ur gf to avoid alchohol at all times till the baby is born...alchohol can have many unwanted side effects on the baby

Stay calm.... it is more than likely just heartburn... especially at that stage of the pregnancy... she should drink water and rehydrate. If she is worried she could call the GP and talk to someone. I wouldn't think one episode is going to upset things at this stage.... don't panic, if she feels ok she will be ok... Make sure she rests enough and she eats really healthily... good luck!

immediately after 15 days when mansion period time is over without mansion,you may have pregnancy test to know about pregnancy.but never try to have a test about girl or boy kid.it is inhuman.

But it's horrible! she should think about her baby!

however don't worry, the child should be safe but...go to the doctor as soon as you can!

I hope it's all ok...(I don't know if I have written correctly, I'm italian) bring all things well, helllooooooo!
2008-01-01 07:03:10 UTC
an odd glass of wine is fine but anymore cant be good she has to see a doctor.
2008-01-01 06:58:46 UTC

call her ob and tell them what is going on. They can tell you if she should be seen or not. Hopefully he will be ok. as for your selfish ex............tell her to start thinking of the life she is carrying. He can't defend or speak for himself yet.
2008-01-01 06:57:06 UTC
thats dangerous...go to the doctor she could loose the baby...and next time tell not to be so stupid and to think about the other person that its inside her...good luck and congratulations...
2008-01-01 07:00:12 UTC

Everyday's the same again...
