I don't think you would have done much damage but I woudn't recommend you doing it again.
Hope that eases your mind.

I had 2 halfs of guinness on Paddys Day, and a girl in the pub thought she was so great to tell me that she had had 5 pints the previous year, and woke up with a hangover!! 
She was actually proud of that fact!
The good news is that she now has a healthy 7 month old boy.
I found out I was pregnant on New Years Day, and I had a hangover then. I had took loads of pregnancy tests before I went out and all BFN so I thought I was safe. I can't tell you the amount of guilt tears I cried that day. But my baby seems to be developing fine and is kicking me non-stop. You can't change what you have already done, but you now know not to do it again.
As the others have said, if you feel that bad, speak to a midwife to put your mind at rest.

When I was pregnant first time around I didn't find out till I was 4 1/2 months!
I was living in Thailand, scuba diving 5 times a day, partying all night and now my 4 year old is fine.
Obviously I'm not recommending it, but you should be fine on 3 pints of lager
Like the others say, if you are worried, talk to your MW

Again not recommended, but there is NO scientific proof to say alcohol can harm your unborn baby, and im not recommending it in any way, but you shouldnt do it 'just in case' as you shouldnt cross a road in case you get run over..the statistics are on the same roundabout level..
I mean there is lots and lots and lots of women that have had no idea they were pregnant untill 3 even 4 or later months and have gone and got hammered every single night, and it hasnt harmed the baby at all.
I chose not to drink at all...since i found out i was pregnant i have had 1 small glass of wine, and quit smoking...but thats my choice, same reason i choose to look when i cross a road...
Long winded story i know...basically saying, calm it in the future, and dont worry, the chances that it has harmed your baby are VERY slim.

Hi
I found out a couple of days ago I am pregnant (i figure i must be about 5 weeks) and I am going to clinic today for first appointment. I am slightly terrified in that I had NO idea i was pregnant and have sunk gallons of white wine in the last few weeks while having friends visit and visiting friends (I live abroad in China). Not every day of course!, but in all honesty on some nights enough to floor most adults let alone a growing baby. I smoked too, but again, not every day - i tend to be a 'social' smoker (yes i guess you could say i like to have a good time and so tend to be 'social' quite a lot). I've eaten loads of sushi and shellfish and basically seems that i've done everything i shouldn't do, except eat pate and blue cheese, and throw myself in front of moving traffic.
I am re-assured by these posts, and just hope to god i've not harmed my baby. The one saving grace is that i've been taking folic acid half-heartedly for some time and my diet isn't bad at all usually and i do excercise (ish). i'd already cut right back on booze and virtually eliminated cigs when i foudn out and now have obviously stopped altogether and am on a strict super healthy balanced diet now.
I'm not particularly looking for reassurance as what's done is done, but what i want to know is, is it likely that i would have miscarried by now if all wasn't well? And is it still the case that your test results come up positive even if the 'foetus' (such as it is) is dead? Sorry to sound so blunt but i'm trying to be practical! I've got sore boobs, have already got a bit of a belly and urinate more frequently, eat more etc so i FEEL very pregnant, but worry it could all go pear shaped in the next couple of weeks thanks to my boozing.

You're past the stage where the baby is developing all it's vital organs and the worst few weeks for miscarriage so I wouldn't have thought you'd done any harm. I found out when I was 5 weeks pregnant and in that time I was really really drunk and I mean falling over drunk (think being pregnant made me like that - but obviously i didn't realise I was) before hand not knowing I was pregnant. My little one is very healthy so don't worry. I had a few drinks all through my pregnancy. Not very often but more than what I was meant to

aww, thank you both for your reassuring replies. I think you are right. I have experienced no bleeding and feel totally normal so i reckon i'll be fine. In fact it's weird - the crampy tummy, bloaty feeling, sore boobs, everything has gone away. I assume this is normal too. I am still starving hungry all the time though so feel things are still ok in there and bean is growing.
Hiya as the opthers have said if your really worried then speak to your MW, my so called mother (person who says shes my mother ) drank all the way through when she was pg with me i guess i turned out a better person than she will ever be but i do get really forgetfull but nothing to say it was the drink that caused it. But apart from that im good an i have two healthy baby girls and i can honestly say that you do learn from your mothers mistakes as i dont drink i wouldnt put my girls through what i did.
Take care hun all thebest for the future

Years ago before all this research mums to be could drink what they liked.
Are mothers mums etc would have been drinking alcohol so I doubt it would do much damage or if any and at 13 weeks isnt the baby almost fully formed anyway so I dont think u could really hurt it....
I could be wrong Im trying to sound like I know what im talking about, but maybe im just sounding like an idiot

According to the GOV website:
You should drink no more than 1 or 2 units of alcohol, once or twice a week.
A unit is half a pint of standard strength beer, lager or cider, or a pub measure of spirit. A glass of wine is about 2 units and alcopops are about 1.5 units.

A leaflet I got from the early preg unit also gives this information.
