Will 3 shots of tequila at 1 week pregnant affect your unborn baby?

Answer 1

If your worried relax, this will not have serious side effects on the baby. Occasional drinking during pregnancy, though i personally do not condone it, is recommended by some scientists. However they recommend wine not Tequila, but as long as your not going to make this a daily habit there is not much need for worry.

From a different author:

Drinking during pregnancy is more dangerous during the first trimester because this is when the embryo is forming all of the body systems. As for whether 3 shots would be damaging, it depends how quickly you consumed them---for example, taking all three together is more damaging than taking one each hour for three hours. In any event, the good news is that this early in your pregnancy, if the embryo is damaged it is more likely to result in miscarriage than a handicapped child (natures safegaurd, since we don't know we are pregnant that early).
