I cant have a Kebab from a Kebab shop can I??

[Jakabella]

Can I?? Craving BAD....

[LimeSlice]

yes you can

[LionsandBears]

No way! All sorts of bacteria involved, sorry.

[Rainbow_Mumma]

That was my big craving when i was pregnant with DD2 until we moved but from around 5 weeks to 5 months i was downing kebabs like they were going out of fashion and theres absolutely nothing wrong with either of us, my midwife even said it was ok

[Kazmar]

Nope! That stuff is diiiirrrrty at the best of times! Its what a craved while pg though

Though many bubs have nothing wrong with them, theres the chances you may get sick too

[Bloom]

Eeek! A tricky one. The salad is normally pre-prepared which is a no no. Plus you don't know how long the meat has been sitting there for. So no, from a shop.

If you were absolutely desparate, my work-around solution, would be to get a meat only kebab from a reputable high turnover shop, nuke it before you eat it and add your own freshly prepared salad.

HTH

[Jakabella]

LOL thats 2 for yes and 2 for no!!

[onthefly]

I say yes

[Rainbow_Mumma]

my shop though they prepared everything in front of you and cook the meat on the spit thingos so its always hot doesnt go cold etc

[mrsmac]

Millions of middle eastern women have eaten kebabs throughout history and had healthy babies!
I think you need to work out what risks you want to take, for each of us its different.

[Kazmar]

I would just worry about them using the 'fallen meat', the meat that sits down in the tray....., pre made salad= listeria

[~me~]

I would and did

Lamb, lettuce and extra garlic sauce please...Yummmmm

[onthefly]

I'm sure chilli & garlic kill the bugs, right...?

I think you should just go with whatever you're comfortable with. It's your tummy & baby

[Sammiejane]

I have, both in this pg and with MJ.

I watch them prepare mine, and as i have chicken, they chop it off and then put it on the grill (i tell them i want it really hot) and its just a practice they have anyway.
My shop that i go to has a high turn over and is always really clean (and my DH made the fridges in there so i know that they work really well and are new)

[CinderToriella]

Have fallafol (Sp) yummy

[Maruschke]

Nom nom kebabs... go for it!

[PumpkinZulu]

So long as it's all prepared in front of you and the meat is hot, I don't see an issue I zap everything in the microwave when I get home anyway.

[ellasmummy]

I am craving kebabs so badly too!!

I personally wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole due to listeria risk - but many do, so if you are comfortable with it, go for it. mmmmmmm kebabs i have told DH i want him to bring me one the day after i have this bub hehe.
