Can you eat shrimp while pregnant?

Question

I haven't eaten really any seafood during my pregnancy except right at first when I didn't no I was pregnant and my family is going out to dinner Thursday and they have the best shrimp there I want some! Thoughts?

Answer

absolutely. Seafood is extremely healthy and you shouldn't avoid it just because you're pregnant. the only thing you want to avoid is certain fish that are high in mercury and raw seafood. shrimp is an excellent choice.
