Hi, nurse Hilary. Someone said this and I would like you to please tell me if this is true or not. "Placenta doesn't actually deliver nutrients to the baby until about 8 - 12 weeks of pregnancy. If you were drinking before this, it's unlikely to affect the baby because it was getting its own yolk sack. But before 8 - 12 months, you are not passing anything to the baby because the placenta isn't done setting up shop." I thought you shouldn't drink alcohol no matter what week of pregnancy you are in. Whether it's week one, week 12, etc.
I am not sure how much the BABY needs early on since it's just some cells, but you are growing a placenta and alcohol is basically poison that does cross into the baby's space.....
