Chinese food??

I'm craving Chinese food SO bad right now I'm going to go crazy. Is Chinese food okay? (It's literally my favorite PLEASE be okay ) I've heard only once that it's not okay but I've never seen it anywhere as foods to avoid.

I've been eating it. I don't see why someone would not be able to eat Chinese food.

The only thing I've heard would be questionable with Chinese food is the MSG. Some people are allergic to MSG so just tell them you're allergic to it before ordering just in case. A lot of places are anti-MSG now regardless, but doesn't hurt to check.

Eat it!!!

Moderation and common sense are key. Don't go to a sketchy hole in the wall place and it should be fine.

We had it for dinner tonight. I've been craving egg rolls!

I had some the other day, and I've had sushi(the cooked kind)

Ate it tonight! Had it all the time first pregnancy and my daughter turned out just fine!

The population in China is over 1.3 billion people so I'm guessing Chinese food is safe. I agreed to have them leave out the MSG and just be aware of the fact that Americanized Chinese food is very high in sodium. At least some dishes.

Just don't buy it from a questionable place. Enjoy.

I was never told Chinese food was a no with DD and I ate it and she is fine. Like others said, be mindful of sodium ans MSG and you will be for me until the indigestion starts.

I've been eating ALL the Chinese food. Do it!!!!!

rcaldwell727

Great! Now you have me craving Chinese food

Just like any type of food, don't buy it from a shady place. Chinese food itself is fine

I agree. I think that Chinese food is okay, just make sure that the restaurant does not use MSG. I love Chinese food as well lol :-)

PinkLady2015

just an FYI but MSG has a sneaky way of sneaking into a lot of foods, not just Chinese food, make sure to check labels of things that you buy!!

kduncan212

I'm so there with you! Chinese food and fruit are like the only things that sound good to me! Haha

Hibachi ( I know not real Chinese) I love apparently pregnant body hates it. I don't think I can eat it any time soon so sad ! I hear Sarah McLauglins song "In the arms of an angel" every time I think of it. rip delicious food so sorry my body rejected you like people rejected those sad puppies.

MamaBish

Every time this thread gets bumped it makes me want Chinese food so freaking bad!!

PinkLady2015

@mamabish SO MUCH!!!! I want a big greasy eggroll with ducksauce so bad!!!

simplymizzj

@Lindsayleigh1989 Hibachi is actually Japanese you're probably thinking Chinese since a majority of hibachi restuarants are owned by Chinese people! But nonetheless, still so good...

Yes I know it's Japanese hence my: (I know it's not real Chinese food) and I had laugh and how you made me look racist with your comment how I was thinking Chinese to the orientation of the owners haha. But yes so good but not for anytime soon.

Eta; spelling

simplymizzj

@Lindsayleigh1989 lol, sorry that was not my intent when I made that comment...was just simply stating the facts.

MamaBish

So I ended up getting Chinese food last night because of this... It didn't end well, lol

elldel

I too ended up ordering Chinese food last night because of this thread. It was glorious, and I promptly passed out not long after in a sweet and sour chicken induced food coma.

CosmoAnne1

Maybe we will make fried rice for dinner..... If I feel well enough.

victoria98

@MamaBish @elldel I'm glad I can inspire you ladies to do great things

sboston06

I got Chinese food because of this thread too. I specifically requested no MSG. Who knows if they actually did it but damn it was tasty!!

msuzannah

Nnnnnoooooo!!! Not this thread again!!! I NEED Chinese food now.

rlopezlavalle

I ordered Kung Pao Chicken and fried rice. I've never been so happy about dinner before.

victoria98

Lol that's so crazy how so many of us want Chinese food

BabyMiller0001

Msg is not good for baby, but the thing you need to watch for is buffets... don't eat food off of those. You don't know how fresh the food is or who could have touched it. It's not safe. I only eat order only Chinese when pregnant

megth

All I wanted when I was pregnant with my son was steamed dumplings. I wanted them morning noon and night. And I ate the hell out of them. Soooooo good. Enjoy your Chinese food!!!

soberkfell

I ate the entire order of sesame chicken last night... and then proceeded to unzip my pants and accept the bloat that followed soon after.

dolewhipper

H took me for Chinese

BabyC1

Omg I want Chinese right now...for breakfast...thanks to this thread! Lol

rlopezlavalle

I craved it and ate it over the weekend. Now the thought of Chinese is making me sick.

thebigoaktree

I'm ordering sushi after work today, can not wait.

hwal98

I laugh so hard at this because....Chinese food as been my enemy! It sounds HORRIBLE to me. And it's constantly around me - my friend catered it last week, my work luncheon is it this week....I can't escape it! Can we trade places? You can have all the Chinese food, and I can get away from it, haha. And I think it's okay to eat! ...and usually I kind of like Chinese food :-/

LinzerBinzer

Omg I just realized DH is out of town and that means I can eat ALL THE CHINESE FOOD!!!!!
