Alcohol pregnancy

[yvonneb13]

I was out for dinner last night I asked for a mock tail half way through I realised it it wasn't it was a cocktail will I be okay I'm almost 26 weeks!!!!
I stopped once I realised and I've been drinking loads of water

Your baby will be fine. Don't worry.

It doesn't matter.

You’ll be fine. Try not to worry about it. It sounds like it was only a small amount. Stressing about it s probably more harmful than the actual alcohol x

Absolutely no problem.

But this should not have happened. You could be driving, allergic, alcoholic. Did you flag it up with the restaurant?

Yes I told them straight away and they gave me a mocktail for free said she must of picked me up wrong was very apologetic.

Not that long ago, the NHS guidance allowed for a couple of units of alcohol a week. You had half a drink, probably at the same time as food. There is absolutely nothing to worry about at all!

Also be aware that you have mentioned alcohol with pregnancy so get ready for some lovely ladies to arrive and tell you that having half a shandy is worse for your baby than taking heroine😂.

During my first pregnancy I looked into the results of studies surrounding alcohol and pregnancy. The short answer is that the reason the advice is to have no alcohol is because you'll always get someone pushing boundaries and taking it too far so it's best to just flat out advise none at all.

Having said that, don't think this is a free pass to continue drinking as you may have before but just see it as confirmation half a drink won't have done any harm.
