I'm 10 weeks pregnant and went out to dinner last night. I ordered chicken marsala without thinking and realized half way through that it is made with cooking wine. I have been freaking out since last night. I have been so careful about everything!!! Could this have harmed my baby? How much alcohal is in these cooking wines. Are there any moms out there that have ate things with wine and had healthy babies?

Relax. Cooking wine is very low in alcohol, and what ever was left was cooked out before it hit your plate. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AT ALL!!

First of all, no worries!!! The alcohol will cook. Second of all, I think there are actually studies out there showing that an occasional glass of wine during pregnancy might not cause any harm at all.
I still wouldn't drink at all while pregnant, but if they're suggesting a whole glass of wine on a somewhat regular basis is fine... a little cooking wine shouldn't hurt your baby!

Just relax. Using wine in cooking is for flavor and most of the alcohol cooks off in the process. No, your baby wasn't harmed by this. Here in the US people make such a big deal about not drinking/consuming any alcohol. It's ok to consume a little, a small amount will not hurt anything.

Relax, cooking wine is fine during pregnancy! The alcohol cooks out of it. It is just used for flavor, not the alcohol content!

Chill Out. You're ok. After cooking with the wine usually what's left is the flavor. Congrats!

You'll be ok... when you use wine to cook, it cooks out all the alcohol... even children can eat dishes cooked with wine. Don't worry!

Cooking wine is perfectly fine. Nothing to worry about at all... its more flavor than alcohol.
