I : I am glad that you are protective of your unborn child. I agree with your obstetrician. One gulp that was partially expelled should not be a significant issue. I would try to put your fears aside over this incident and just prepare for your delivery. Congratulations. Enjoy you new baby.

Sorry, but I find: This difficult to accept. You would know it was vodka from the second it hit your lips, and it wouldn't be possible to take a "big drink." be that as it may, a single few sips of alcohol will not do any likely lasting harm to you or your baby.
