Hello, am in a bit of a panic this morning, i just poured myself some cold milk< current craving of the week> and i chugged some down, but stopped after a few secs because it had a really weird tang to it, sour almost, i can't smell the milk because iv'e got a cold, but tasted another bottle to compare, and that one wasn't tangy.
do i go to gp? i had about 4 big gulps of the milk will i get sick? should i just leave it unless i start to feel sick.

on a seperate note, i am no longer craving milk.

i keep retching, but nothings come up as of yet, i tend to be sick in the evenings when i have a full tummy of digesting food, sods law really.
I am worried its going to make me sick, gone off dairy is bad.

It's probably fine and your tastebuds are playing up. Make a cup of tea with it. If it's off, it'll curdle in the hot water.

Even if it was off it doesn't mean it'd make you sick. And if it did, well then you'd be sick. It won't affect the baby. I'vle had food poisoning and stomach bugs in pregnancy and it makes you feel 10x worse than you ordinarily would, but the baby will be fine.

Ye tastebuds do play up in pregnancy! I keep eating things and have to check date because it tastes so funny! Even tinned stuff like beans. U shud be ok. How long gone are you?

Even if it is slightly on the turn it's not that likely it'll make you sick - if it was really off and bacteria ridden, with pregnancy blood-hound nose you would certainly know about it! I've had tummy upsets from food (one from a fresh squeezed juice I had in cafe before I realised non pasteurised juice was a no no...) and it was pretty much immediate, probably an hour afterwards. It just cleared out the nasty stuff and then I was fine.

I've even accidentally eaten a undercooked sausage, actually raw in the middle (another restaurant F up) convinced I was going to get really ill, and then nothing happened at all.

Sure you'll be fine!

Well, it didn't curdle, so i guess its just my tastebuds!
I don't know why it was just that bottle of milk, the other tasted fine :S
I still feel a bit iffy, but im sure its probably in my mind, im 7 weeks yummie.
