MCDONALDS BIRTH DEFECTS????

Have any of you ladies ate mcdonalds during your pregnancy and your baby came out fine? I'm hearing about mcdonalds having ingredients in their food that can give your baby birth defects /: and I loveee mcdonalds especially their Mcdoubles Fries & egg Mcmuffins. Is this truee?

Idk but if this is true then I'm super glad I've only eaten it twice my whole pregnancy!

I work at McDonalds. I ate there one meal, 5 days a week and my son came out fine. He is two now. Still no issues. With my second I'm still eating McDonalds. My doctor knows I work there 40+ hours a week. She doesn't have any concerns. So I say go for it. If you're craving it, have it.

They always try to pin things on fast food. A few years ago they tried to say autism was caused by mcdonalds lol. Its fine. Ask your dr

I sure as heck hope it isn't true because i've eaten there throughout my pregnancy.. if it is true, they need to do something to make it known.

Yeah if you eat a mass majority of your meals at mcdonalds. If you over eat any fast fpod place yes there will be problems. Or grease in general. If youre smart and use moderation you wont have any problems.
