I just realized that some of the marinades and sauces I use contain a small percentage of alcohol because they contain wine or other ingredients. Is the alcohol burned off during cooking or could consuming it pose a problem for the baby? I'm 9 weeks pregnant.

The alcohol burns away when you cook it, so it's not a problem at all for your baby. Enjoy your vodka sauce!

When you cook with any alcohol, the only thing left is the flavor. You could cook/boil the entire bottle of vodka and drink the whole pot and have NO problems whatsoever (contains NO alcohol content).

It sounds fine but please do not drink whine like willie_wo.... said, what she did was wrong and could of been very harmful to her baby.
My mother is a GYN and has had dozens of babies born with problems because thier moms were dumb enough to drink whine. My moms own best friend drank whine during her pregnancy but she had no idea it was harmful and when my mom told her it was she flipped and spent several weeks before giving birth worried something would be wrong with the baby.
What your doing is fine but do not do anything more then that and only do what your doing now and then, do not make a everyday thing out of it.

As long as you are using reasonable amounts of these products and not excessive amounts, and as long as you are cooking them thoroughly (cooking burns off the alcohol) I wouldn't worry about it. Check with your doctor to be sure.
Just don't drink any alcoholic beverages and also avoid fish and seafood that is high in methylmercury.

The heat should burn the alcohol off. Just make sure what you are cooking boils.

Alcohol evaporates at 80C, so boiling will remove it. The small quantity is unlikely to he harmful anyway.
