ok to eat chinese takeaway???

[Madigan]

Is it ok to eat chinese takeaway when pregnant? or would you not risk it?
Having a massive chinese craving, and just ordered s&s prawns, chicken with cashew nuts and fried rice. Not healthy, I know .......... but is it ok to eat it?

Its fine to eat chinese takeaway when pregnant. Don't get into the habit of eating completely differently when pregnant, its not necessary at all.

I've had the occasional take away throughout my pregnancy (nearly 37 weeks now) and baby seems to be doing fine on it. I think it should be ok - if you know the take away and you've not been ill with food from there before then I would go for it. Probably wouldn't keep and reheat anything but other than that - enjoy!

mmmmm sweet n sour chicken hong kong style, egg fried rice and duck...x
back soon guys just making a quick phone call

xxkt1xx - EXACTLY my order from last night + seaweed! Was DE-licious!

The baby loved it and kept me up all night

haha-gotta love the chinese food

Definitely OK.

I've just eaten some scallops which I (over) cooked very thouroughly myself. I was wondering if I should, but I think it's really the cheese and the pate or raw things that you need to worry about.

Thank you everyone .... will enjoy it now xxx

haha I hope so, this kid is going to come out looking like a vindaloo and chinese can't be any worse than indian.

Well I did and nothing bad happened.

yes its fine. While you are out can you get me one too, I'd like:

Peanut satay
Prawn toast
Seafood and mixed veg

You can go barmy avoiding foods when you are preggers, I have not and feel great (39 + 3)

Ha ha, having one tonight - salt and pepper and chilli king prawns! Yummy.

ummm...yum yum rumble rumble...sounds like a good idea to me

this thread is more dengerous than going to the supermarket when you're hungry

Yeah it was good .... will now be a regular feature of my pregnancy diet ........... thank you for all encouragement/advice/support!!!!!!

In my 1st pregnancy Chinese food was the only thing I could eat that didnt make me feel sick.

had chinese last night mmmm xx
