I am 10 weeks pregnant and both DH and I are incredibly nervous because I had three miscarriages before this pregnancy. Last night I ate a big slice of Tesco Christmas cake and went to have another slice today with my lunch; DH pointed out that it says on the packet it has Cognac in it, and asked me not to eat it. I'm going to do as he asks - he's been incredibly kind about trying to help with my anxiety about this pregnancy and I don't want to stoke his - but was just wondering: this is actually fine, isn't it? It must have a tiny bit in; unlike alcoholic liqueur chocolates it isn't sold as a product that contains alcohol, and children eat fruit cake, right? Do other pregnant women eat Christmas cake?
