Question

Hi I’m about 4 weeks pregnant and my family and I decided we were going to have a seafood boil for Christmas containing seafood such as Shrimp, crab and lobster. I know that shrimp is ok to eat but is it ok to eat crab and especially lobster because that’s definitely what I want the most! I’ve been pregnant before so it’s a chance I won’t even be able to stomach it but if I can I’d sure love to know if it’s ok to eat? Can anyone help me?

Answer

They say you can in moderation because of the mercury. I wouldn’t put too much thought into it really. I am pregnant and I went to a seafood place and I decided not to get crabs even though I wanted them sooo bad. My husbands cousin was pregnant but further along and she got a huge plate full of them. She just had her daughter and she is healthy and beautiful. Don’t stress yourself out about it, eat what you want but don’t over do it.

Answer

Yes as long as it’s cooked you’re fine. Just don’t eat it every day

Answer

I think it’s okay cos shrimp, crab and lobster are all in the same family. As long as it’s fully cooked you’re good. The problem is in raw fish and ones with higher mercury contents. So like, just don’t eat shark or dolphin meat? (Or like other high mercury seafood) 
But that’s just what I know. If you’re really worried, just ask your doc. To me, the peace of mind is worth the phone call, just so you don’t stress or worry

Answer

My doctor told me not to eat food like that example: octopus, crab, oysters. The shrimp is fine though
