Just ate a chinese takeaway now panicking!

Ate Chinese, Dr googled now worried I shouldn't off 😭😭

20 weeks pregnant please tell me I'm being stupid

You're being utterly ridiculous, grow up, stop being pathetic and remember youre about to be a mother.

Same 😳😂 if it's a thing it'll be a medical miracle if my baby is born without issues..

Oh calm down will you. You'll get nowhere in life as a parent if this is how quickly you can jump to conclusions.

If you're scared of beansprouts at least Google it and it will tell you they are fine if cooked

Bean sprouts! OMG!!!

I have 2 healthy children that prove Chinese in pregnancy is fine 😂

It's completely normal to feel anxious about things while your pregnant, especially food

No need to be rude

I had a huge Chinese the night I was in labour with DD2, her birth was fuelled by prawn toast and pork balls!

Anyway agree with PP, don't Google things just stick with NHS guidelines. Pregnancy isn't an illness, there really is very little that's advised against doing or eating.

That’s because you can. There’s nothing dangerous about Chinese food.

Don't be daft. Unless you also drank a bottle of wine, had a pint of unpasteurized milk and finished it off with some rind cheese and cigars, you'll be fine.

OP I accidentally ate raw chicken when pregnant and it was all fine I didn’t even get sick. I also had a load of cured meats near the end of pregnancy in a moment of total mind blank and baby is perfectly healthy. But I understand the fear! I’ve never heard that you shouldn’t eat Chinese food when pregnant though? Bean sprouts is just because they can give you food poisoning if not stored or cooked correctly but very very unlikely. Also I think MSG has been unfairly demonised it’s essentially a salt. We have it in the kitchen at home for stir fries etc.

Agree, isn’t it something like not a single pregnant woman/foetus has died from eating soft/unpasteurised cheese in Europe? And the few listeriosis outbreaks that there were came from salad.

Surely you’re more likely to die just by driving a car…

Oh actually in writing this, I found there was ONE person who died in 2023 from listeriosis from POTENTIALLY soft cheese (don’t know if they were pregnant or not): https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/mar/24/dies-uk-eating-cheese-contaminated-listeria-baronet

I’ve always thought the guidance and the evidence base, when I’ve looked at it, was not far from complete nonsense.

yep... over a billion Chinese women worldwide must not eat anything for nine months lol

dw you will be fine

dr Google is far more dangerous than a one off takeaway

The booming population of China suggests you will be fine.

Chinese babies?

If it had been Vietnamese the beansprouts would probably have been raw, and therefore there would have been a teeeny weeeny chance of getting ill. Good shout choosing Chinese.

Now I want both Chinese and Vietnamese food immediately.
