How often do you have takeaways during pregnancy?

Hi all! Currently 19+2 weeks pregnant.

Wondering honestly how often you have a takeaway.

I'd be lying if I said I haven't had 3 in the past 2 days. Blush

Generally I eat quite healthy but I've been on a mad binge recently.

Anybody else get like this?

Thanks all Smile

We usually have one every 3 weeks...
your amount is a lot, but it sounds like a one off binge week, so don't be too hard on yourself!
I guess it's more important that you're getting it from hygienic places / cooked through etc

12+5 here.. Have been averaging 2 a week I reckon, would normally be 1. I am eating less chocolate and sweets though so telling myself that balances it out Smile

with my first pregnancy I was working full-time at mcds with all the free lunches Blush

I'm 19 weeks today. Eat what you fancy, as long as it's not on the NHS naughty list (will be gutted to not have pate this Christmas!)

I barely fancied ANYTHING until about 2 weeks ago, now I'm making the most of it whilst I can :)

In my first trimester I was craving salty junk food which really worried me. 14 weeks now and eating healthily again.

33muma · 22/09/2020 20:41

@Cookies47 I'm 19 weeks today too! How's the baby movements?! X

I’m 36 weeks and have been having at least one takeaway a week through my pregnancy, sometimes two depending on what’s been happening that week. Generally eat okay the rest of the time but tbh, we were doing that long before I got pregnant so it’s not much of a change for my body. Saturday has always been a treat day Grin

ktsc89 · 22/09/2020 20:56

I'm 11 weeks and would usually be very healthy.... well that's gone out of the window and I have never eat so much rubbish! But it's all I can keep down/fancy.

If a few takeaways are what you fancy at the moment, then don't beat yourself up too much.

New2020 · 22/09/2020 21:16

Not having takeaways as I'm being overly cautious with covid

But deffo eating the sweet treats

NatalieH2220 · 22/09/2020 21:22

Once a week, was about the same pre pregnancy.

allhappeningatonce · 22/09/2020 21:37

Probably about once a month. I do really enjoy cooking though!! I'm 24 weeks. During morning sickness though I did eat a lot of junk when I could manage food, including numerous happy meals 🙈 for some reason I couldn't do adult sizes at the time!

Turtleturtle81 · 22/09/2020 22:17

Once a month which is about the same as ore pregnancy. I tend to binge on snacks though.

chubbyhotchoc · 22/09/2020 22:22

I'm 30 weeks. I've had 2 the whole pregnancy. I don't eat after 6 tbh. Dh has two a week

Tomatoandbasil · 22/09/2020 22:24

I’m worried about Covid so no takeaways.

Bernardstolemywatch · 22/09/2020 22:26

Once a week, sometimes more. Had loads during lockdown. It was all I looked forward to. 31 weeks.

Spark27 · 22/09/2020 22:28

Probably about 1 a week, sometimes 2, since the start of the lockdown. I just need a break from feeling like I am cooking ALL the time. Before pregnancy it was more like 2 a month. I'm 39w now x

Pinktruffle · 22/09/2020 23:51

Probably once a fortnight. Usually when I'm too shattered to cook and DH is doing long hours for work so hasn't been able to cook..... and sometimes I just want pizza.

CoalCraft · 23/09/2020 06:48

No more or less than when not pregnant, so generally one or two a month. We'd have more if I wasn't stingy with money Blush

SunnySideUp2020 · 23/09/2020 08:56

2 a week

MichelleOR84 · 23/09/2020 12:27

Every Friday ( as always even before pregnancy) however I’m 32 weeks pregnant now and struggling to eat much so I doubt I’ll be able to continue much longer .

Cookies47 · 23/09/2020 14:09

I can only feel little movements @33muma - it's my first pregnancy & I have a high placenta. If I'm lay in bed, I can feel little "kicks" but nothing too strong yet! How about you?

FolkSongSweet · 23/09/2020 18:12

Once a week, which we’ve been doing since lockdown as a treat to ourselves since we’re not going out anymore!

stoptheworldiwant2getoff · 23/09/2020 18:17

Once a week but it's not always unhealthy

33muma · 23/09/2020 19:06

@Cookies47 I've started to get quite big kicks over the last week, that have taken my breath away! Goodness knows what the kick will feel like with 10+ weeks on!! Xx
