Question by Becca: Drinking beer everyday first 4 weeks of pregnancy?
If you drank beer everyday give or take a day in betweenup until 4 or 5 weeks after conception in your opinion do you think it would be positive that the baby would have fetal alcohol syndrome? And do they have tests for this during pregnancy? What month is the earliest you can test?

Also if you have brown discharge 1 day when you are supposed to have your period that week a sign of pregnancy?

This is for a friend who thinks shes pregnant so thanks in advance for any helpful answers

Best answer:

Answer by Amaretta
