HELP! Alcholic icecream...

Claudily · March 2009

I accidently ate about 1/5 of a pint of icecream before I realized it had wine in it. My mom tasted it and KNEW it had alcohol but I didn't taste it at all. I have been eating well, and I am scared now I ruined everything. This is my first baby, I am three months pregnant.

I hope I am overreacting and this will turn out fine. Anyone have similar experiences?

thanks

Ok, calm down. A little alcohol in pregnancy is not a big deal, despite the dire warnings everywhere. Consider that wine and mead were the primary choices of drink for hundreds of years because water wasn't always safe and that the human race survived and take a deep breath. Consider how many people don't find out they are pregnant immediately have a few drinks over the course of a couple of weeks before they find out. Truly, you are over-reacting just a little.

Just don't eat anymore and you and the baby will be just fine. Promise.

What kind of ice cream has wine in it anyway? That just sounds bizarre.

Thank you, since it was the weekend my doctor was closed!
I was so scared because I had difficulties concieving and I thought "what did I do!?" I haven't had a drink since I was 21, and I thought I ruined everything!:)

It was blackberry cabernet gelato actually.

(I didn't know, my younger sister bought it for me because I was craving icecream)
