Chinese food is ok isnt it?

I have googled this and all seems to be ok - i ate a few indian take aways in early pregnancy and have so far avoided chinese but i really really want crispy shredded beef (in a kind of soy sauce - yum) with egg fried rice (which i figure is ok as its not raw egg?) so hubby is going to take me out tonight to a lovely wee chinese we have ate in quite alot pre pregnancy so i trust the source...is this ok?

I know im prob just being silly but tell me some of you have eaten chinese lol? Also are prawn crackers ok? i would assume so as alot dont even contain prawns and even then its just oil and its only raw shellfish they say not to eat? (i dont like prawns lol but like them with my dinner) and as we are out i would prob have some chicken and sweetcorn soup to start..

im hungry just thinking about it - table is booked for 7.30 and im quite excited as we havent gone out for dinner since i got my BFP as im so paranoid about everything eg it might be poison me or be bad for the baby etc...but i really want to go out toniht and have a nice night with hubby and enjoy myself and not worry (although i know i will be listening in with my doppler again just to check all is ok after eating)

    U'll be fine. I've been eating chinese since finding out I was pregnant. We always have a chinese every other sunday night as a treat & I never changed the habit when I found out I was pregnant.

    So go & enjoy yum yum!!! & eat as many prawn crackers as u like, I usually have most of them!!

    Ive been eating that and curry since BFP.....I think we get panicked so much by what we should and shouldnt eat that it puts us into panic mode! Ive even had the odd bit of pate on toast.....everything in moderation, cause lets face it......women have been having children for years and what did they do before we knew all this stuff! Dont worry hun, you've got this far, start enjoying it....your growing a little person inside you now image xxx

    i think chinese food in general is not good due to the msg, but no more so being pregnant. and you can have prawns. they are not raw.
