They're not banned. They're gross Wink but if you fancy one then tuck in!

I've been super careful about everything through the pregnancy and a few weeks ago, I ate one by accident! I am fine! Have one! Xmas Wink

Lottiedoubtie · 29/12/2014 09:36

Yep they used to be banned but happily not anymore! Tuck in!

ChaircatMiaow · 29/12/2014 09:38

Oh god, now I want one too!! A crunchie one. Waaaaaahhhhhh.

Four weeks to go...then I will scoffing handfuls of cold prawns and prosciutto and smearing mcflurries all over my face. Oh yeah!!

And my newborn baby. Will be excited about her too. Ahem.

My Midwife lied to me then haha!!

She said last week no Mcflurries, I was like WTF!?

I wouldn't normally eat them but the baby wants them, right...now....

They are not banned, plenty of pregnant people eat them.

There is a tiny risk of listeria from whippy ice cream, but McDonalds have very high standards of cleanliness etc. and to be honest if listeria is on your mind, there are enormous lists of things you should steer clear of. Hoummous was responsible for an outbreak last time I was pregnant.

I'd just eat the ice cream. In fact I did, often Xmas Grin

ilovepowerhoop · 29/12/2014 09:41

Maybe avoid soft ice cream from an ice cream van but the McDonald's ones should be fine

ChaircatMiaow · 29/12/2014 09:41

Are they not banned by the NHS anymore?

Soft serve ice cream is definitely still on the NSW Food Safety Authority's Do Not Eat list. Boo

Im 28 weeks pregnant and all I could keep down in the first trimester were mcflurrys and chocolate milkshakes.

I wouldnt eat ice cream from an ice cream van but my cousin works for mcdonalds and assures me the machines are stripped down and scrubbed daily.

Number3cometome · 29/12/2014 09:48

I'm on my way to Mcdonalds now woohoo!!

My DS is made of Crunchie McFlurries!!!!!

You should be careful of squidgy ice cram out of a machine because if they arn't cleaned properly they can hqrbour bacteria, but I would think you'd be safe with somewhere like McDs- they have pretty strict hygiene standards.

CumbrianExile · 29/12/2014 09:55

Ha, another one who practically lived on McFlurrys when pregnant. Currently watching DS sleeping peacefully. Go get one and enjoy Grin

ClariceBeanthatsme · 29/12/2014 10:07

Oh god I hope they serve her a Mcflurry, isn't it just breakfast until 10:30 Sad

Number3cometome · 29/12/2014 10:11

I haven't left yet - the boss is lurking Grin

Refusing a pregnant woman a mcflurry would be a very dangerous thing for mcDs to do....

Rumplestrumpet · 29/12/2014 10:45

I hadn't even thought of a Mcflurry, but now you mention it... scans the horizon for the nearest yellow arches...

BanglesSpangles · 29/12/2014 11:16

As someone who in a former life had to clean a mcdonalds icecream machine far more than id care to remember, i can tell you those things are sanitised to within an inch of their lives- my food hygiene standards at home are nowhere near as rigorous Grin

purplefeathers · 29/12/2014 11:54

Someone mentioned cold prawns too. I've been eating cold prawns. I've indulged in loads of prawn and avocado bagels, I think pre cooked prawns are okay.

Number3cometome · 29/12/2014 14:55

I'm so happy!!
