A member asked:

Husband cooked pasta. he used vodka sauce. i didn't notice until after i had finished eating! but i'm 9 wks pregnant! should i be worried for my baby?

Alcohol gone: The alcohol in the sauce was probably cooked on a stove top until it was boiling hot. Alcohol in cooked food evaporates very rapidly. It was probably gone. A tiny amount of alcohol is not likely to harm the baby. Drinking alcoholic beverages is another matter and you are advised not to do it while pregnant.

Not really : Advantage is he cooked it. As a general rule all kinds of alcohol in any form can be harmful, but the odds of this scenario would be like hitting the lottery. I feel u and u fetus are safe. Obviously try and be more prudent and don't beat up on u'r husband either.
