Sauce with alcohol while pregnant?

[Jaydemeehan33]

I'm so freaking out right now and I don't know if I'm overthibking it or not, but my mother made pork with potatoes for the dinner but covered it in a white wine sauce and I didn't even think twice about eating it as its one of my favourite meals, but then I realised there is white wine in it and I'm so scared because its alcohol, someone please tell me I'm overthinkng and being paranoid and my baby will be OK :(

It should almost all have cooked off before it was served. You'll be fine and so will baby. Try not to worry 😊

The alcohol cooks off very quickly, honestly don't worry! Plenty of women drink a glass or two of wine a week whilst pregnant with no ill effects whatsoever.

You and your baby will be fine, most of the alcohol is burned off in cooking.

You're overthinking it :) even the odd glass is fine.

You are over thinking and your baby will be ok. Honestly, you’ve probably had a minuscule amount of alcohol - most of the alcohol cooks out when heated. Stop worrying.

You are waaaay overthinking it. You have done no harm at all; you just had a nice dinner.

There's probably more alcohol in mouthwash. Don't fret OP

Aw that's unreal, thanks ladies yous are so kind for answering 💕💕

It's really fine. The sauce will only have a small amount of wine in and any alcohol will evaporate during the cooking process.

Even if you drank a glass of wine the baby would be fine. A few tablespoons of sauce is really honestly nothing to worry about.

Think about how much wine was in the sauce, I'm betting well under a glass per person. Then, unless the wine was added immediately before serving, at least half the alcohol will have evaporated, probably a lot more.

At very most you've had the equivalent of a couple of mouthfuls of wine, nothing at all to worry about
