Mc Donald's Milkshake

I'm sure there is something about the machines not being able to be cleaned thoroughly so to try and avoid the milkshakes and mcflurrys?

I think it’s to do with the machine same as the ice cream vans. Advised not to as can hold bacteria as they can’t be cleaned thoroughly x

There’s a risk with absolutely everything you consume. Enjoy the milkshake.

Midwife said mcflurrys are absolutely fine to fine to eat and believe it's the same for the milkshakes! Enjoy it 😊

I’ve had McFlurries while pregnant and I’m fine

I’ve been having milkshakes and McFlurrys from mcdonalds/Five guys🤍

I hope so I been drinking them my whole pregnancy I’m 23+2 now and they help alot with my morning sickness x

Just have the milkshake x

Imma be honest I've been drinking about 3 a week because I'm obsessed 😂

I’ve had plenty of milkshakes 😅

Midwife told me I can’t have any mr whippys or mcflurries which includes McDonald’s milkshakes. Something to do with the machines and listeria bacteria x

Have the milkshake… I think if we googled everything we ate we would find a reason not to have it xx

It’s advised not to because the milkshakes are made with the soft ice cream x

A previous midwife I had advised against it because of listeria risks, but my partner and I looked into it and McDonalds has been much better at cleaning their machines every day which means they should be okay. As long as you avoid unpasteurised milk too you should be okay. You can't have the like Mr whippy ice creams out of the machines and things like that though as far as I know.

I've had so many Strawberry Milkshakes from McDonalds, and I'm nearly 23 weeks.

My midwife told me not to eat them not because of the milk being unpasteurised but because of the way the machines are cleaned. And to be fair I worked at Maccies for quite a while and they’re definitely not the cleanest haha. Nothing official though about it

Vanilla milkshakes I've consumed more while pregnant and I'm 23 weeks, we're all good. Enjoy your milkshake!

My midwife said it’s absolutely fine now to have milkshakes and McFlurrys from McDonald’s

I've had a few milkshakes through mine with no issues, enjoy it x

I was told by the midwife to avoid any whippy ice creams and McDonald’s and other fast food milkshakes cause of cleanliness xxx

Thanks guys, so I'm thinking I won't stress about the ones I've had cause I haven't been ill and it sounds like that's the risk... getting listeria. But might try making something similar at home...might save me money anyway and can maybe reduce some sugar 🙈

buy a tub of ice-cream from the shops and whip it till it's like ice-cream that's what I do lol x

when I was little my mum used to make us vanilla ice cream, milk and that crusha strawberry milkshake mix thing!

I really want one now 😂 x

Deffo no flurries or milkshakes due to the way the mix is heat treated and stored.

I was told no to soft serve due to bacterial growth.
