I'm pregnant with baby number 4 and with each pregnancy there has been something else added to the do not eat arguement.

I have a chinese every week and have sufferd no ill effects and neither have my kids.

so long as you trust where you are getting the food from and its properly cooked then why not??

if you have fried rice the egg is fully cooked.

And without sounding daft the chinese population hasn't sufferd from eating chinese foods

I would say have whatever you fancy in moderation!!

Good luck and enjoy

I'm still eating chinese, I haven't heard that your not supposed to eat them for that reason, I was told its just cos there not good for as they are full of crap and so to keep to a minimum. You can get food poisoning from something cooked at home or in a resturant, they don't say notto go out and eat. I'd relax a bit more, maybe avoid a dodgey fast food van on a motor way or something. Enjoy, xx

We have a takeaway every friday night (it's not my fault if the family doesn't like my cooking!) and as other people have said, as long as it's cooked properly there's no reason why you shouldn't eat it.

I do miss prawn curries though - prawns are on the 'do not eat' list. Mind you, so are Snickers bars and nutty cereals but they happen to be my favourites!

Ok, it's Friday...I think it'll be chinese tonight :o)
