    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.

    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

    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)

    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.

    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.

    I ate them but I buy from busy store and I dont have salad.

    Its all personal choice some people stay away from everything that could be a risk others are selective others eat what ever they want.

    If you are going to stress dont do it!

    I used to talk to my shop and ask them to heat the meat through on the grill after cutting it to make sure it was properly heated and etc.

    OR if you go to a real turkish/middle eastern place and not just a kebab shop, you can get Shish as your kebab meat...fresh cooked over the charcol. Delish!

    MMMMM....chicken with the works, hot chilli sauce and sour cream.

    OMG I WANT.

    I don't see why you can't as long as where you go seems pretty safe. Maybe go first thing in the morning so you know the meat hasn't been sitting there all day. But really, it's up to you, if you want one, get one. If that's what you're craving, then do it, just make sure you go somewhere you trust

    I think u would need to know your kabab shop lol. Like the one in the marketplace in shep (Healthy Kababs) has yum yum yummo ones and their meat etc seems to be much hotter and say Kababalicious in the target complex thing. If i was preg, i would have one but stick to lamb and beef as i think chicken can carry too many nasties.

    U can alwas ask for just the meat on one and take it home, warm it up and add your salad from home

    Nope wouldn't go near it, kebabs are notorious for food posioning because they sit on the spit all day and you never know what temp the meat is being kept at.
    I agree with the other ladies the salads are premade and a risk of listeria.
    Why not make a home made kebab?
    Anything I'm unsure about eating I don't eat. Not willing to risk it for a few minutes of guilty pleasure.

    My rule of thumb was if i was going to regret it later then i would not eat it now! i just stressed to much about it which was proberly worse!

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