Turkey and Alcohol guilt/worry! Help!!

8 replies

Perchance2dream · 01/01/2014 08:08

Feeling like I'm losing the plot a bit here ladies - think hormones are making me a little bit irrational, so please help..(I am 32 weeks)

Am I right to feel a sense of impending doom and destructive guilt thati used 6 day old leftover turkey to make a jamie o turkey pie?! Feel like I may have poisoned myself and baby now with using turkey that's that old from fridge. I know I cooked it again - does this make it ok?

Also had 2 half glasses of champers last night and feel like some sort of evil mother! Just because I felt a tiny tiny bit tipsy and sick when I went to bed.

Normally I would bring some rationalisation to the fore but it's not coming! Tell me I'll/baby will be ok?!

You'll be fine :)

If the turkey was bad, it would make you sick but I don't think that would harm the baby. I am sure it will be fine. That amount of champagne will do no harm. I had a glass last night as well. Happy New Year!

The turkey's only a risk if it makes you I'll - are you ok? If so don't worry!

Champagne was only 2 glasses as long as its not a regular thing don't worry.

I would be the same (and was) but would also have eaten/ drunk same.

If the turkey was bad you'd know about it by now.

As for the champers - my mil had a glass of sherry every morning to stop her feeling sick and a glass of Guinness every event for iron when she was pg. Was normal practice in the 1970s - DH and BiL are both fine! So will your baby be.

"Evening" not "event"

Do you feel ill? If you had food poisoning from the the pie then you would know about it. If you feel fine then the baby is fine too.

I wouldn't worry about the champers either. You're 36 weeks so you're way past any worries about fetal alcohol syndrome and whatnot. Your baby is fine.

Stop worrying. I had a glass of champagne and half of red last night. It's ok, especially if you have with a meal. And if you are feeling bad about turkey then let me tell you I had a slice of Brie on a cracker Wink

Just feel a bit queasy this morning but nothing more. Don't know if that's in my head though, sometimes seem to just get slightly anxious from time to time during pregnancy over things that I would never normally give a second thought to.
I worry I have become too relaxed and complacent and that I might harm baby by not being more conscious of everything.
