It can't be lead poisoning from the can because there's no lead in food and drink cans. The juice could have been slightly past its best (which is probably no cause for alarm either) Remember that the sense of taste often seems to change for some people during preganacy and what you liked before can suddenly start tasting vile. (Likewise stuff you thought was gross before becomes much more appealing - just remembering the amount of pickled gherkins my sister got through in the last stages of her pregnancy because everything else tasted of metal. LOL)

Unless you were drinking lead paint out of that can there is nothing to worry about.
Juice and aluminium cans both contain No lead.
Good Luck!! xx

 I highly doubt you could possibly get anything from a couple sips of juice that's gone bad and since there is no lead used in cans it certainly wouldn't be lead poisoning. Relax, I'm sure the doctor will call you back with the same opinion.
