I'm really craving some Chinese food like noodles or manchurian, but my family is saying it's not good during pregnancy. Are Chinese dishes generally considered safe to eat when you're pregnant? I want to be careful.
Look, Chinese food is fine as long as you make it at home or get it from a highly hygienic place. Roadside Chinese has too much MSG and artificial colors which you should strictly avoid right now. Eat healthy, don't compromise on hygiene.
I think home-cooked Chinese food is completely safe to eat. But please avoid outside roadside stalls because they might use MSG (Ajinomoto) or unhygienic water, which isn't good for the baby.
Actually, my doctor told me that MSG in moderation is fine, but the real risk with Chinese food is food poisoning and high sodium. It can cause dehydration and high blood pressure. So if you crave it, eat from a premium hygienic restaurant.
Oh I totally understand those intense spicy noodle cravings, they are so real! Please just ensure you eat from a very clean restaurant to avoid any stomach infection. Your safety and your sweet little baby's health are the most precious things right now.
Beta, bahar ka Chinese khana bilkul mat khao, usme jo masala (Ajinomoto) hota hai woh bache ke liye theek nahi hai. Agar bohot mann kare toh ghar pe hi bina ajeenomoto ke thode noodles ya rice bana lo. Saaf-suthra khana hi sabse uttam hai.
