Should The Baby Be Aborted If Just Pregnant And Consumed Alcohol And Did Drugs Unknowingly?

I just found out I'm pregnant (approx1-4wks) and drank a lot last weekend. I also did about a gram of cocaine. Should I have an abortion?
I am 34 years old, I weigh about 250 lbs and am 5' 10". I don't usually do drugs but celebrated with old friends. I would never ever do it again now that I know I"m pregnant.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

Although it is quite early in your pregnancy for the consumption to cause any damage, it should still be elaborately evaluated.

Although I would not advice termination of your pregnancy, but to wait and monitor the growth and development of your fetus and decide before 20 weeks of pregnancy is attained. If at all your fetus is normal, you would be killing a perfectly normal child.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
