Take away (the "bad" kind LOL) was basically all I could stomach in the 1st trimester becuase of it's total lack of taste or texture :-)

Go for it...enjoy it.

Big congrats on your second anniversary, ktdancer

I am from the "neurotic-about-foods-in-pregnancy" school, so please use this advice or don't:

I would check the turnover of the place. Is it really busy? I would stay away from anywhere that has slow turnover. If turnover is slow and you just NEED the food from there I would ask them if it is made up fresh and explain you are pregnant etc.

I would be careful about the bean sprouts that are included in many Asian dishes. We shouldn't eat these whether they are raw or cooked (though I know many people who say cooked it fine).

A trick I use to try and make sure that my food is prepared freshly and not just heated up from the main pot is to drop or swap one of the ingredients with another. This way they need to make it up for you.

HTH and have a wonderful evening x

I have only had it twice but from the little local place that is freshly cooked and I just asked for MSG free. They were more than happy to do this. I've been told there is another enhancer that is used but not sure of the name so you could just aske them if you're concerned.

Happy eating!

Chinese is fine... just don't reheat it.

the way i always judge how good a chinese takeaway place is is if theres any chinese people eating there!!! and often the cooks and thier family will sit down and have a meal at one of the tables on thier break...if theyre eating it then its good!!

well, i have definately eaten it.
Im only 13 weeks nearly and have had pretty much every take away there is. (which isnt doing my weight too good)

I have had kfc, maccas, chinese, fish and chips, subway, pizza.
I practically live off junk food which is bad, however, I have always eaten it and my doc reccommended that i might want to 'slow down' on the take away, but not cut it completely out of my diet, as the shock of going to healthy food, would do more harm than good, as my body is so used to the takeaway.

I should start thinking about going for a walk, or doing some yoga classes, as i dont work, and seem to just sit around home all day.
I have already put on 4 kilos and im only nearly 13 weeks.

Anyone have some good 'light' exercise routines, i might be able to start?
