    my friend had sex with her boyfriend 3 days ago and she thinks she is pregnant... she says its a feeling.

    trouble is, she's been partying the last few days and has gotten totally drunk... can't stand up/ talk straight/ remember anything drunk.

    she asked me if this might kill the baby, because she lost one baby before because she wasn't eating well, and doesn't want to lose this one too if she's pregnant.

    do any of you know if 3 days after conception, a developing baby could survive this?

    thanks for any info you've got.

    Well yeah drinking stupid amounts can cause the 'mass' to die, she isnt the sharpest tool in the shed to drink if she thinks she is pregnant.

    ingesting intoxicants will not affect the fertilized egg until 12 weeks, when the placenta starts functioning. Before that point, mom's bloodstream is totally separate from baby's. That's not to say it won't affect mom's overall health, which does have an impact on the unborn.

    I dunno.. she should get a pregnancy test. If those work that early on... im not to sure. But she shouldn't drink, do drugs, and she should eat properly. Lots of vitamins and frolic acid all healthy foods.. no caffeine, no x-rays, and nothing stressful, and especially no smoking.

    she should do exercises .. a nice brisk walk but nothing crazy exterem. Good luck to her

    No, first of all, it isn't a "baby" yet. If this happened three days ago, the sperm may well have not even met the egg yet. Even if it did, it has not yet implanted. One cannot be pregnant before implantation, there is certainly nothing there but maybe an egg and some sperm and perhaps a fertilized egg, which has not yet implanted. Although alcohol can be VERY dangerous during certain times in pregnancy (and we are not only not sure WHEN, but we don't know exactly when each egg implants, so there is no exact way to tell in what stage of pregnancy a womyn is in in the early weeks.)

    There is no way to determine whether her consumption of alcohol is a danger to the "pregnancy to be" as she is most likely not even clinically pregnant yet. Best advice (that she most likely will not take) is to avoid all alcohol and nonessensial drugs if one suspects one is pregnant.

    "Kill the baby?" You can't kill what doesn't even exist yet.

    ..the conception happens 2-3 weeks after the sperm enters the egg, when the fertilized egg implants itself into the uterus. meanwhile the fertilized egg is not yet connected to the woman's body in any way, HOWEVER, the internal tissue (in a form of internal fluids) are present and are surrounding the egg. these fluids are composed mainly of Water, so yes, there is a great chance that alcohol will reach the egg through the bloodstream, since it can mix with water.

    please tell your friend to act responsible and to quit drinking, because any amount of alcohol can harm a developing embryo. in fact, alcohol is the leading cause of mental retardation in children.

    How did the conversation go? "I think I'm pregnant, let's grab a beer."?
    It doesn't sound like she's mature enough for a baby yet.

    well, when i got pregnant with joey, i didn't realize i was pregnant, thought i'd not conceived. had a good drunken party, then found out i was pregnant, freaked the hell out, beat myself up, stopped all bad habits immediately and had a perfect, wonderful, healthy baby. she's ridiculously healthy.

    oh, and my sister in law had massive amounts of scarring on her cervix form having cancerous cells removed. she was told she couldn't conceive. mother nature had her own thoughs about that. she conceived when she was still a heavy partier. she got drunk quite a few times, actually. she was very young and irresponsible then. then she found out she was pregnant. she went from hard core fuck up to devoted mother...well, at least she was while she was pregnant. after she had the baby she went back to partying for a while, but none of us could really blame her, she'd just lost her fiance to a head injury and subsequent coma. anyway, my whole point was that people being young and irresponsible when they have no one to answer to or for is totally understandable. and people can do all sorts of stupid things, even after they become parents. parents aren't some irreproachable gods who no longer truly live and make mistakes just because they've delivered a child.
