I've been eating it. I thought it was okay!

 

[caarmywife]

I sure hope we can because I have eaten it several times Its not a good idea to have too much because of the sodium and the msg. BUt I think once or twice is okay... I hope lol!

I sure hope so, millions of pregnant Chinese women eat it everyday! I think the biggest thing to watch for is restaurants that add MSG.

I've been loving it every week but last week had a horrible experience,they had put to much MSG in it and me and dh were awake all night like we had been on drugs with palpatations so I would definitely request no MSG Hun xx

Of course you can! As long as its a reputable take away place or restaurant. I have eaten it in my last two pregnancies and have been fine. I would advise the same caution with fish or any other guidelines that you already know about. I have eaten prawns in a curry numerous times. As long as they are hot..theres no problem. Just dont reheat it afterwards.

Yes it is fine! Go easy on the sodium intake and make sure your meat is thoroughly cooked.

[spring_baby]

I hope so as I had it last night. What is MSG?

Msg is Monosodium glutamate which is a high salt flavering but asked my oh who is a chef and he says that its in all our fast food, ie mcd indian chinese bk kfc etc and its just about eating in moderation, hope this helps xx
