What Are The Ill Effects Of Alcoholism During Pregnancy?

I m just worried about some alcohol consumption before finding out I was pregnant. We conceived 6/21 or 6/22, and on 7/17, 7/18, and 7/19, there were three different social events where I probably drank 3-5 glasses of red wine per occasion, with food, and over a period of a few hours. I found out I was pregnant on 7/20 and stopped drinking. I had a first ultrasound on 7/31, where I was measuring approximately 7 weeks and 2 days. Since then, I have had two more ultrasounds, one at 10w6d, and the most recent being on 9/5 where I measured at just over 13 weeks. All ultrasounds have been great - baby is growing on schedule, and I even saw his mouth opening and closing and limbs moving at the last ultrasounds, which tells me the brain is sending the appropriate signals for reflexes to occur. I ve been eating healthy drinking lots of water, and taking prenatal vitamins. Yet I still can t shake the drinking that was done before I knew I was pregnant. Did I put my baby at risk for FAS?
