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

Can I?? Craving BAD....:shakehead:

yes you can

No way! All sorts of bacteria involved, sorry.

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

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:dunno:

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

LOL thats 2 for yes and 2 for no!!

I say yes :)

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

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

I would and did :)

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

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)

Have fallafol (Sp) yummy:)

Nom nom kebabs... go for it!

So long as it's all prepared in front of you and the meat is hot, I don't see an issue :dunno: 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.
