I am 38 weeks pregnant and tonight at dinner i ordered an apple cider and took three sips before i realized it actually had alcohol in it. is this likely to be dangerous to the baby at this point? should i be worried?

No, you should not be worried that 3 sips of apple cider would harm your baby. Your baby will not likely be harmed by this.

No. At this stage in your pregnancy this small amount of alcohol will not do any harm. It is good that know to avoid alcohol. Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, including breast, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake.
