Worried about foods and drinks I've had whilst unaware I was pregnant.
Just found out im almost 5 weeks pregnant today, and now im worrying about the fact I've had Deli meats, Alcohol, Medium rare beef, Pineapples, Smoked salmon
Ibuprofen, Lightly cooked egg yolk and tuna sushi! How concerned should I be? :(

Don’t worry about it I never stoped eating anything during the whole pregnancies while pregnant with both of mine and are both completely fine.
Thank you ladies!! Really insightful, and appreciate the link!

Don’t worry. Firstly, most of those foods you listed are only off the menu due to your increased risk of food poisoning while pregnant. So, if you haven’t got sick by now, it’s not a problem. Secondly, you can have pineapple. Who said you can’t have pineapple? Pineapple is full of vitamin c and folate. Fill yer boots. A small amount of ibuprofen is unlikely to have done any harm, but from now on stick to paracetamol. Same goes for alcohol. You don’t actually share a blood supply with your baby yet - that comes a little later on in the first trimester. Having said that, don’t drink anymore as it’s time to start taking care of yourself. https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/keeping-well/foods-to-avoid/
