McFlurry

I’ve eaten a lot of mcflurries since being pregnant and nothing wrong with my baby or me they’re one of my favourite cravings! Haha x

Yes!!

Yes- the risk is listeria from an unwashed machine. But the risk is incredibly low- no higher than eating out at any restaurant while pregnant

NO!! It’s literally one of the main things your midwife tells you to avoid for listeria 🫠 With everything, it’s your own choice though, personally my 2nd pregnancy and I’m avoiding as I worked at McDonald’s and they never cleaned the machine out 🙃

Hold on why wouldn’t be be allowed McFlurrys

I’ve ate shit tons pregnant

No your not supposed to or their milkshakes because they aren’t kept cold enough and there is a risk of bacteria build up. I missed them so much during pregnancy and then baby got milk allergy so still haven’t been able to have them 😭 It’s the same with mr whippy type ice creams too.

you’re not supposed to apparently - but i have! i’ve had mr whippy, mcflurry, milkshake & not an issue. depends how you feel with it. i was never told by my midwife to avoid it, personally 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was specifically told by my midwife to avoid McFlurrys and I craved it so bad during pregnancy but I didn’t have one. It’s the risk of listeria, same as Mr Whippys/all soft serve ice cream

There is nothing wrong with the ice cream itself. It’s because the machines they come from often aren’t cleaned to a high enough standard. Same with any soft serve ice cream or milkshakes.

@Hannah because of the bacteria

We can have McFlurry not mr whippy though

Iv eaten them, both pregnancy

if we’re not it’s a bit bleeding late for me now 🤣

@Amie omg, i didn’t know this at all ive had them during my pregnancy bc ive been craving them bad

I was told by my midwife it’s fine to eat McFlurry because the machines are cleaned but to avoid a mr whippy xx

@Tilly Mcfurries or Mr whippy ?

@Amie both, i’ve had a few mr whippys throughout my pregnancy

@Tilly Mcflurries are okay just avoid having any more mr whippy

@Amie am going to now, probably gonna speak to my midwife about it see what she says if the fact i’ve had some is gonna cause issues

@Tilly I don’t think it will cause issues but yeah best get checked

McFlurrys are relatively safe but mr whippy is more one to watch but it is all personal preference! I have eaten McFlurry through both of my pregnancies x

Had one yesterday 🤤

Mcdonalds strawberry milkshakes was the only thing I could have to stop me feeling sick

Oh god I had no idea and have been eating them all the way through 🫢😅 oops!

I have had so many McFlurry’s in my pregnancy! I’m nearly 25 weeks now and the baby is fine! She probably enjoys them 😝

I ate one and then thought about it after and was like ooops, not much I can do now! 😂😬

Ive not had any! I honestly thought we werent allowed it.

I always went by the NHS website and if a food wasn’t on this list, I felt free to eat it 😊 https://www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/keeping-well/foods-to-avoid/

I’ve had many!

I was told by my midwife I wasn’t allowed McDonalds milkshakes or McFlurrys ☹️

I’ve stayed away from anything soft serve just in case - not long now until I can get my hands on a chocolate milkshake! 😍😍😍

I was told by my first midwife that I wernt allowed them I keep forgetting to ask my actual midwife

I was told by my midwife and consultant (I was consultant led for my second pregnancy) that I couldn't have any ice cream that comes from a machine because there are parts of the machines that aren't accessible for cleaning so the risk of listeria is higher and as pregnant women our immune systems aren't very good so it would be harder to fight off x

I ate mcflurrys xxx
