Mcflurries whilst pregnant

Of course. Why wouldn’t you be?

I thought I saw somewhere a while back to avoid whippy ice cream!!

some form of bacteria or something I think!

My midwife told me to avoid whippy ice cream from the vans, but didn’t specifically mention McDonald’s. Like you said, she said it’s to do with the bacteria. But, from limited research after that, the NHS don’t mention it and I would have thought somewhere like McDonald’s would need to have better/rigorous cleaning procedures, which an ice cream van might not have.
I figure if it was a hard no, it would be in the guidelines.

thank you! I was googling like mad but couldn’t find anything solid. Im desperate for that new biscoff one 😂

It’s just the whippy vans because the machines don’t get hot enough to kill the bacteria as Macdonalds and Toby carvery etc machines are on over night they get hot enough to kill bacteria. They also use pasteurised products too xxx

I did with both my girls, was fine xx

I’ve had them. Says they are made with pasteurised milk on the website x

I didn't with my first but I'm now pregnant with my second and have had McFlurry and ice cream from a van and everything is fine (:

As someone who has worked in a McDonald’s you couldn’t pay me to have a McFlurry after seeing those machines and how often they break down and just the general cleanliness of them, it could have just been my branch but based on other stories from people who worked at multiple branches 95% of the employees do not have them and the newbies stop having them within a month of working there 😂 I really wouldn’t risk it when I was pregnant but that’s just me 😅

My midwife specifically said the guidance had changed since having my last child and I was not allowed McDonald's ice cream or milkshakes.
