Please someone tell me

Can I eat Chinese takeaway when pregnant ? Such as chicken balls / chow mein ect ? When I’ve googled it , it says to avoid due to MSG in the food, but I am really really craving one , shall I avoid just in case or ?

I’ve had Chinese takeaways throughout my whole pregnancy and been fine? I didn’t realise there was anything wrong with this!x

Yeah you can I eat it all the time and been fine.

I bloody hope you can as I have eaten my weight in trays of egg fried rice this pregnancy 😋

@Melissa Leonard this is right. How I can tell there’s msg is if I eat it once and my tummy hurts I avoid the Chinese place. It helps when you have a local one that your familiar with tbh

I had Chinese mid pregnancy and I ended up throwing it all up. It actually put me off Chinese and the thought of it makes me sick still🤢. Never knew it was bad for you but I definitely was ill from it I actually thought i had a stomach bug. Just my experience with it x

I didnt even think about this and chinese been my cravings this pregnancy so i hope u can eat it because ive been living off it🤣🤣

I eat it once a week lol x

@Libby been my craving to lol x

I’ve had Chinese too and I’m fine, might just have to have one tonight now😂

I've had it loads in pregnancy. It would be mentioned on the list with all the other things we can't have, lile pate, sushi, etc If it was a no go. So I'm sure it's good x

I had Chinese through my pregnancy, my son was born 6lbs at 36 weeks and is now ten weeks old and doubled in size so didn’t do any harm in our case! I fancy a Chinese now xx

I’ve had it so many times I think your good to go babe 😂 get that Chinese down you & enjoy it!

As long as that’s not all you’re eating it will be fine! Enjoy :D x

I've had plenty and I've been fine! Xx

Im upset cos this has made me crave a Chinese takeaway and my fav one is shut on Tuesdays 😭

I've eaten Chinese as normal through my full pregnancy I'm 37 weeks now we just always use the same one especially if I was to get any form of seafood that's the only thing I'd say to be careful with

It fine 👍
