Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

I have gone through your query and would like to offer some information.

Alcohol can effect the fertilized ovum after two weeks. If you happened to drink during this period, you are unlikely to have any negative effects.

Moderate drinking, which means one drink per day, has been studied in pregnancy and not shown to have any adverse effects. However, I would suggest no drinks.

In the current scenario, please go ahead with your routine check up and follow your doctor's instructions.

Hope you find this information helpful. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

regards,
Shanti.V.
