Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I am 19 weeks pregnant. I ate plum cake today and I'm not sure if it had rum. I'm scared if it might harm my baby.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
While a one-off intake of alcohol is unlikely to cause significant harm, it's always better to avoid it altogether during pregnancy. Alcohol can lead to various fetal issues, including developmental problems and even fetal alcohol syndrome. I recommend scheduling a scan to ensure everything is progressing well with your baby.
Thanks
