    I've always had irregular periods, but since I started having sex they've become a lot more frequent.

    However now I'm nearly 2 weeks late.

    We're using condoms, never had an accident (that i'm aware of),
    we always check the condom afterwards. But nothin is 100% is it...

    Anyways the thing is I've been on two drinking binges in last month and I'm worried if I'm pregnant, how badly will this effect the baby?

    You're kind of all over the place there. As Thaed says, get yourself a test first, then worry about the drinking later on. It's unlikely to have been an issue anyway.

    You know that worrying too much like this can make your period even later? Seriously, get a test. Even just for peace of mind.

    The same happened to me - I got drunk a few times before I knew I was pregnant. Doc said not to worry about it.

    Tbh, I'd imagine it's very common in Ireland.

    Yup, get the test.

    The foetus doesn't start using the mothers blood supply for some time after "contact".

    Anyway, go and get the test. Phamacy. Pee. Bingo.

    It shouldn't affect the baby at this stage.....none of the neurological building is being done & I'd say the majority of woman had a few drinks while unaware they were pregnant.....stop worrying what may or may not have happened & get a pregnancy test.....the ClearBlue digital give you a 99.99% accurate result as soon as your period is due (approx two weeks after ovulation) & it will say "PREGNANT" or "NOT PREGNANT" so no faffing around with faint lines.....then you can decide how to move forward....

    Most methods of birth control, when used properly, are more effective than just condoms.....if you get a negative result why not ask your Dr about them & use them in conjunction with a condom....much better effectiveness.....best of luck :)
