Can Alcohol During Pregnancy Cause Lower Nasal Bridge In Kids?

My daughter has a low nasal bridge. I drank heavily before I found out I was pregnant which was about 7 weeks and after that I had the occassional glass of red wine which my Dr said was fine. Now I am really worried because she has a low nasal bridge. She is very clever, alert and growing well but could I have done her damage?
