Takeaway in pregnancy

[sha12]

I’m 30+4 and ever since the third trimester i none stop crave takeaway, i’m still eating healthy but sometimes i give in and have to get one and i’m worried if it has any effects on the baby. Does anybody have any advice?

Go and get one!!! The baby will be absolutely fine. As long as you aren’t eating them every other day

Get a Chinese takeaway with egg friend rice and crispy chilli beef 😃

I had one every Friday night when I was pregnant and I looked forward to it so much!

How would a take away affect your baby? It's just food.

I had at least 1 a week when pregnant, eat what you want, worst is you might get a few greasy zits

I've been having about 1 a week during lockdown. 29 weeks now and no issues as far as I can tell.

I'm 22 weeks and have a takeaway at least once a week! Need something to cheer me up with being stuck in my house on lockdown!
As long as the food is cooked properly you'll be fine!
My diet also consists of sweets and crisps and chocolate brioche!
If you've been eating healthy to date, then the odd blip will not make a difference! Just enjoy it 🥰

You’ll be fine. Enjoy

I had a Four Star last night. 1/2 Empire State and 1/2 Cajun Chicken .....mmmmmmmmmmmm

Eat well-ish most of the time, the odd takeaway with be fine.

@nasalspray i have bad anxiety and ocd so i just get worried that everything will affect the baby..thanks for responding tho lol

@Starcup @SpillTheTeaa @Louise91417 @sel2223 @lockdownpregnancy @quarantinevibes @PennyWishes1 thanks for the replies girls!💖 i feel more at ease now x

My post probably came across worse than intended. But to help your anxiety you do need to tell yourself it is just food. Ok someone else is cooking it but realistically people eat take away all the time with no issues!

I’ve had a takeaway weekly throughout my pregnancy, loved junk food in the early but when I felt nauseous, now we usually get a curry at weekends. I’m also craving coke ( as in coke a cola 🤣) so having one can a day. Not healthy but I think you have to let yourself off when pregnant.

I have takeaways probably 3 times a week. It's what baby wants, or at least that's the excuse I'm using 😂. Try not to worry about it and just enjoy being able to eat without being sick (if that affected you, that's the main reason I've been having them haha) or without having to put effort in. There's people out there who eat or do way worse things than you will be and most will go on to have healthy babies. Obviously not advocating going out and doing all the things you're not meant to but thinking that helps me when I get anxious about things.

@nasalspray no i understand,didn’t wanna come of rude either x

@Itsnoteasyfeelingqueasy i craved maccies coke in my first trimester it was all i could drink without feeling sick x

@BeHappyAndSmile Yes that’s very true, thankyou for the response i feel more at ease now x

I promise you it won’t harm baby , especially if you make sure to eat lots of healthy food between takeaway . I ate takeaway probably every third or fourth night in my third trimester. Weirdly I didn’t put on weight lol . But I was eating super healthy when I wasn’t eating takeaway and was on my feet all day

I had to have a big mac. I literally was awake at night craving a big mac so we went to get one the next day (drive through was open in my country). The weird thing is, I don't normally go to macdonalds unless maybe once a year with my niece. It's not a type of food that I care about normally.

I have one, if not two a week...
