take out?

[Housey29]

Hello

I'm due to go out this weekend for a Chinese . . . when my friend was pregnant she refused to come out if it was chinese cos of MSG or NSG levels??

Anyone know what these are and IF she was telling the truth or just couldn't be bothered to come out and used it as an excuse????

MSG is mono sodium glutamate and TBH it's not great to have a lot of salt in pregnancy (or any other time)

Once in a while wouldn't hurt though and you can ask them to cook yours without MSG. Although it won't taste the same

Isn't it the things in sauces which have the most MSG?

Therefore if you went for things like stir fry veg, noodles etc might be better for you?

I;ve never heard of the no MSG in pregnancy thing I have to say -

did find this:

Oh dear! I've had about 4 chinese's in the last 3 weeks, been too shattered to cook

Hmmm...wonder how the chinese go on in their pregnancies?

Don't worry about it, I ate loads of chinese when I was pregnant and so do 100's of other women, not everyone has access to this internet information that we all keep worrying ourselfs with and i'm sure if it was a big issue your midwife would lecture you on it

I've never heard of this before. I ate lots of chinese when I was pregnant both times.
