Hi, I'm 13 weeks pregnant and for the past 4 days I have found out my dh has made me a cup of coffee in the morning (I only have one a day) with milk that was past its use by date! Obviously it tasted absolutely fine or I would have smelled it/seen bits in it (yuk)-I don't feel sick at all, should I be worried?

If it tasted fine and didn't have the bits in it, then it will have been fine.

Really don't worry.. even that amount of off milk wouldn't do anything to you anyway :)

Use by date is a suggestion. If it tastes fine, it is fine. Congratulations on your pregnancy :)

No, don't worry at all, you'll be fine.

If it was really off you would have tasted it and wouldn't have drunk it.

Thanks so much girls, I guess I'm just worrying about the tiniest little thing atm! Thanks for putting my mind at rest :)

Yep, doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about. And even if it had been off, if your DH was pouring it into a boiling cup of coffee, any nasties that might have been lurking would surely have been killed off by the high temperature liquid.

oh thanks, I never thought of that!

yes this will be fine. that being said I wouldnt make a habit of using out of date stuff! I have even drunk off milk accidentally and been ok.

bettywobble · 03/10/2010 18:11

Lol I won't! Maybe I should just not be so lazy in future and make my own cuppa ( and be safe knowing that I actually check dates on stuff unlike dopey dh!! :o

It's always better to trust your nose than the sell-by date anyway! In pregnancy your sense of smell is heightened for exactly this reason and it wouldn't be unheard of for something to be off before its sell-by date.
