Hi dr, my son put some drops of liquid hand sanitizer on my spoon and i ate with it thinking it was water, realized after that it wasn't water. i'm 2 months and half pregnant, can this be harmful for the fetus?

Doubt it: There is no level of ethyl alcohol exposure known to be totally safe during pregnancy. However, the minute level you note in this instance is unlikely to matter. The fetal alcohol syndrome as first described was discovered in alcoholic women who usually died from their disease within a year of their kids birth. We caution women about voluntary exposure, but this one I would ignore.

Agree with Dr. F: The likelihood of any harm is miniscule to remote. Do get regular antenatal care. Take prenatal vitamins. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
