Nosecco 0.5% 12 weeks pregnant

[CoCoaButter85]

Husband and I had a little occasion to celebrate and I bought myself a bottle of nosecco. I had a glass for the last few days. Surprisingly I enjoyed it a lot.

However, only yesterday I realised it says it says on the label less than 0.5% alcohol. It's completely my mistake. I should have realised than most non-alcoholic drinks actually contain some alcohol in it. I did quite a bit of research and in theory this amount of alcohol could be found in your everyday food.

Obviously I won't have it again and will be more careful with non-alcoholic drinks in general but just wanted to check in with your opinions are? Is there actually a chance I have done some damage by drinking it? (I had a glass each time but finishes off pretty much the whole bottle)

No, it’s totally fine.

There can be 0.4% alcohol in a ripe banana. You’ve done absolutely no harm at all (and while some hysterical soul will be along in a minute to scream otherwise) you’d have done absolutely no harm at all if you’d had one glass of regular Prosecco.

I had that when pregnant and was happy to do so. I think it's because they make it and then remove the alcohol, so they can't guarantee they have removed every trace of it so have to label it as less than 1%. But they've removed as much as is physically possible.

Ps.. there’s a book by Emily Oster called Expecting Better. Read it and relax! Congratulations on your pregnancy x

It’s 100 percent fine, that level is trace and found in fruit juice! Also a glass of regular Prosecco would have be fine too (read Expecting better by Emily Oster, she takes a science informed rather than misogynistic women can’t be trusted the truth approach..)

Yep as PP said you're as likely to get drunk on a glass of apple juice or banana as the non alcoholic fizz. Kindly, try to not spiral over small things, it will be a long pregnancy otherwise.

Yes, please read this book, it will save you a lot of anxiety over the rest of your pregnancy!

It’s absolutely fine. Orange juice is supposedly 0.7% alcohol. I’m an alcoholic and I drink 0.5% drinks the same as I drink 0.0% drinks. From the perspective of alcohol metabolism, they have no notable amount of alcohol in them.

It’s a non issue. That is a Prosecco for non alcohol drinkers.

also I’ve drink a glass of wine here and there in all my pregnancies after doing some research. All babies healthy

There will be more alcohol in orange juice. It's absolutely fine.

Thank you ladies for all the responses, it's very reassuring 💐 I had previous MC with natural pregnancy and this pregnancy is our 4th IVF transfer so my mind definitely can race to the places it shouldn't. Appreciate I need to control it for my own sake as I still have two trimesters to go xx

Enjoy your Nosecco!
