Does anyone know if eating mcdonalds chicken nuggets is really bad for you when you are pregnant. I mean of course not every day but every once in a while?

They are fine. It's just not a healthy food to eat every day, but once a week or so would be fine. They can't put anything in them that would be dangerous for you. A co-worker of mine ate a McDonald's breatfast sandwhich for breakfast and either nuggets or double cheeseburger for lunch EVERY day for over 4 months. It was actually grossing other people out, but she kept eating them! She gained like 50 pounds and had a 10 pound baby, but he was otherwise healthy lol! Good Luck, relax about things! Everyone fudges and gives in once in a while!

Noooo no problem. I mean they are high in salt and fat, but hey once in a while won't hurt you or the baby.
The things you should avoid at McDonalds: deli meats and soft serve, unless the soft serve for their McFlurry is individually packaged. (Listeria can breed in soft serve machines, but I know McFlurries are mixed with the spoon they give to you, but I don't know where the actual ice cream comes from, I've never asked)

Why would it be bad for you once in a while? Just make sure you eat them right away and don't let them sit out before eating them, to avoid salmonella...they are chicken.
I had a HUGE craving for Big Macs during my second pregnancy, and indulged myself every week or so.
Go for it. Just avoid the Honey Mustard sauce, or dilute it with more mustard. Too much honey during pregnancy cause botulism in babies, and should be limited.

Fast food is never recommend as a good source of nutrition for your baby, but sometimes hormones and cravings are hard to ignore. Moderation is always the best policy in this case.
I tell you though, if you ever want to lose a love affair with fast food, watch "Super Size Me". I couldn't watch the whole thing and I haven't been to a fast food restaurant since.

It isn't the chicken that's bad for you its the grease they fry everything in. I crave fish sandwich's everyday, but I know I can't have them "everyday" because its fish and the FAT!
28 weeks along!

There's nothing wrong with eating them. Hell, pregnant women eat pickles and sour cream. Chicken and mustard....

If you eat it one or two times a month or something like that no big deal but don't eat to much.

While they are not the healthiest or most nutritionally sound diet.....once in a while won't hurt either you or the baby!
Good Luck with your pregnancy and enjoy your baby!
