I am not a md or anything ,but when I was pregnant with my daughter I drank a few times before I found out I was pregnant because I wasn't trying to get pregnant or anything . I had also had a bad tooth ache before I knew I was pregnant and took a pretty large volume of aspirin and tylenol with codedine over a few days time and after expressing these concerns with my doctor he felt like there wasn't anything to worry about because the incidents happened so early in the pregnancy and they only happened a few times. Plus he said the aspirin were really only a major concern the last three months of pregnancy because they would thin my blood. I wouldn't worry as long as you haven't been drinking since you found out you were pregnant and you found out fairly soon. Good Luck Amila >
