Patient's question:
I am 27 years old this year. I got married in October this year, and my period came on October 16th. It hasn't arrived yet. The last time I used a pregnancy test strip, I found out that I was pregnant. At the end of October, I drank almost a whole bottle of red wine, and on November 23rd, I took one dose of "Four Seasons Throat Drops." I want to know if this will have an impact on the fetus.Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy after drinking alcohol can still have an impact on the fetus. If you want to continue the pregnancy, it is recommended to have a Down syndrome screening at weeks 15-20 to check the intellectual development of the fetus, and a 4D ultrasound at weeks 22-26 to detect any major malformations and the development of main organs. Drinking occasionally during pregnancy is not a big problem, but being drunk during pregnancy is a risky behavior. Alcohol will definitely cause damage to the fetus's brain, and the extent of the damage is unpredictable.
