sip of wine at 5 weeks

[super_ano]

I am jewish and took a sip of wine from the Kiddush wine (Friday night festive dinner).

I normally don’t drink and I feel terrible now.. absolutely terrible.

Is there anything I can do now?

Yes-stop worrying! It’s fine to have occasional small drinks when pregnant-one sip will do nothing at all xx

You’ll be fine- I had multiple beers at a gig when I was 4+3 (I didn’t know!). No harm done!

I definitely wouldn’t worry about that. Shabbat Shalom! 💙

many people at your stage don’t know they are pregnant and drink lots! Honestly a sip is fine, the stress of you beating yourself up about it will makes it worse. Take care x

Thats what my husband said regarding the stress.. thank you for calming me down.

I had small glasses of wine all through pregnancy (after doing enough research that I felt comfortable it was safe) and have a very happy healthy baby.

If you need more reassurance, get the book Expecting Better by Emily Oster which has a good evidence -based section about how much alcohol is safe (spoiler alert - a sip is definitely absolutely harmless, it'll be immediately processed by your lover and not touch baby).

Thank you so much.

You're going to be fine. Small sips and not too often are okay. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy. x
