Hi I found out a couple of days ago that buffets put msg in their food to make you feel more full. Is msg bad for the baby??

I thought msg was sodium/salt. If that's the answer then no it won't hurt the baby. I do know that processed foods like bologna and hot dogs(not the all beef ones.) and foods that contain aspertaine or nutrasweet are a good thing to stay away from. Also diet soda and fat free foods are not good.
I have read that regular amounts of salt are ok, as your body needs a little more while pregnant. If your not sure about something just don't eat it until you know if it's ok or not.

This is a practice commonly done in chinese food. It is recommended that during pregnancy you stay away from msg's. If you've had some, I wouldn't panic about it. But otherwise, stay away from chinese food and you'll be fine!
