I think that if you continue to drink throughout the pregnancy which obviously you would never consider doing you would harm the fetus but as of now the baby should be fine as long as you continue to care for yourself from this point forward. You will never know for sure but with the ultrasounds coming up they can tell if you will have any problems. I am hoping for the best for you and you should not worry too much because you can't change anything at this point but you can help your baby by taking vitamins now and eating correctly. Do you have prenatal vitamins?

 Drinking chronically and in LARGE amounts early on in the pregnancy is what really effects the gestation and development of the baby. Small quantities of alcohol pose very little threat though it is highly discouraged do to the fact that all fetuses are different. Where a certain quantity of alcohol could have adverse affects to the development in one fetus the same quantity may not have an effect on another fetus even if it is the same mother.
It is encouraged to not drink while you are pregnant and to avoid soft cheeses.
Congratualtions on your pregnancy. I hope all is well.

Do not drink at all anymore. If you're worried at all, speak to the doctor. Nobody here can actually tell you if any harm has come to your baby, though I think if you don't drink anymore and make sure you eat healthily throughout and rest of your pregnancy, it should be okay. But if you're worred, do talk to the doctor. Good luck.
