I know people say the risk is low but I did get food poisoning from raw oysters at a very reputable restaurant once several years ago. Totally not worth the risk at all as some food poisonings can cross the placenta and cause a stillbirth. I say this as someone who has crazy intense raw oysters cravings so completely understand where you’re coming from.Oysters are very high in iron. Are you anemic at all or borderline? I eat mussels once a week and my raw oyster craving has gotten less intense since I started that. They’re high in similar nutrients that you could be lacking but healthier and I prefer the texture over fried oysters. I already told SO he better plan to bring me champagne and raw oysters to the hospital the day I give birth 🤣🤣🤣
Craving raw oysters - help!
I have been craving raw oysters for weeks now!!! 😫 I’m currently 33 weeks... how bad would it REALLY be if I ate just a few raw oysters? I tried fried oysters a few months ago and they just didn’t hit the spot.
Is there anything that I could eat instead that would fulfill whatever nutrients I could be lacking? I’m like, crying level craving raw oysters at this point but I don’t want to harm my baby ðŸ˜

Yep, one of the most highly rated restaurants in my area and I was in the hospital on antibiotics, antiemetics, and anti diarrheals while getting fluids. I passed out, had a fever of 105, could barely tell you my own name. Thankfully I was 25 and very healthy, not pregnant, or who knows what it would have done. It took me years to want raw oysters again after that.

Totally agree with this comment. I had a friend who almost died of bacterial meningitis after contracting it from eating raw oysters in a reputable restaurant.
