Accidentally drinking alcohol

Me and my partner went out for lunch and I ordered a non alcoholic cider and since I’ve never had any problems before I never seemed to check and I got half way through the drink and realised it wasn’t non alcohol. I’m 26 weeks will this affect my baby or should I be fine! I didn’t drink the rest of it.

Baby should be fine but any sort of pains just go A&E to be safe

you should be fine - cider is low % anyway but watch out for any symptoms x

I wouldn't give it a second thought. You and baby will be absolutely fine x

You ordered a non alcoholic one and they served you one with alcohol? It’s not your responsibility to check it’s their fault I would 100% complain and even report them tbh. I am sure all is fine but there are so many case where serving someone booze when they want 0% can be so detrimental like alcoholic or medical conditions. Wow.

@kelly it may be that or it could contain something like 0.05% alcohol which I have noticed before in ‘non alcoholic’ ciders

how did you know it was alcoholic? purely asking because i find non alcoholic and alcoholic cider tastes the same, but if you saw the bottle then fair enough, i wouldn’t worry as its low percent anyway, probably will be out of your system soon but of course any signs that something is wrong then just get checked. also if you’re concerned you could always text your midwife just to see what they say but i’m sure they’d reassure you like we are xxx

There’s mums that carry on drinking wine throughout their pregnancy, so I’m sure everything will be okay mama. Just monitor it and babies movements etc and if anything ask triage x

what the heck!!! i hope you told the restaurant manager i would have been so angry and definitely not paying for it

You will be fine. Back in the day when it was ok to drink alcohol in pregnancy, I drunk some alcohol in 1999 (first child) I drunk a little alcohol occasionally. He is fine. 25 now and completed uni. Though drinking his body weight in alcohol now. Don’t stress

You’ll be fine. We also laugh about how our Mums were prescribed Guinness during their pregnancies by doctors for the iron so it’s won’t do any harm.

If you watch ‘call the midwives’ pregnant women smoked back in the day

They will be fine :) you have to drink a lot regularly to cause an issue.
