It's totally fine. And, I say this out of experience, OP: nip that husband body policing in the bud ASAP. It sounds like you are not pregnant yet, and once you are, it will only get worse.

It actually doesn't. But it's still fine to eat a little alcohol in sauces, etc when you are pregnant.

Let's not forget your liver does a great job of filtering out small amounts of alcohol, OP. That's all you'd be consuming in a sauce, anyway.

Your DH needs a chill pill.

Most of it does.

Yes, it evaporates.

Yup.

And the sauces you mention have such a low diluted amount of alcohol anyway.

Sorry, your DH is an idiot.

Be prepared for a micromanaging spouse during pregnancy, OP. The things you listed are fine.

My lord. Tell your husband to fly a kite. Then eat your pasta, with sauce, in peace

Get a grip people!!

Absolutely.

And read Expecting Better by Emily Oster for real, statistical information about what to do and what to avoid.

You can eat or drink whatever you want until you test positive! You might not want to get X-rays or CT scans or scoop the litter box those two weeks, but otherwise drink up!

Yes, I did. Even fruits and fruit juices have a little alcohol in them, thanks to normal and natural fermentation. There's no way to completely avoid it.

Not only that, but there was a HUGE study that showed a little alcohol here and there had better outcomes for both mom and baby than abstaining.

Not a problem. Unless you're drinking a pint of sauce, the amount of alcohol is really low, and it may even cook off. But even if it doesn't it's still low.

Can you eat foods with wine based sauces when you are ttc or pregnant? For example fish with a white wine and butter sauce or pasta with tomato and red wine in the sauce? My DH is saying I shouldn't...what do you all do)
