Yes, you can absolutely eat prawns! I had crazy prawn curry cravings during my third trimester and had it almost every week. Just make sure they are thoroughly cleaned, deveined, and fully cooked—avoid raw or semi-cooked seafood entirely.
If your family eats seafood, then well-cooked prawns are very healthy, dear. Just pray and eat with a happy mind, ensuring they are prepared fresh at home. May God bless you and your baby with good health.
Prawns are perfectly fine to eat as long as they are fresh and well-cooked. During my pregnancy and even post-C-section recovery, I stuck to well-done, home-cooked fish and prawns because they are a great source of protein. Just ensure they are prepared very hygienically to avoid any stomach upset.
I love seafood, but when I got pregnant, I felt so anxious about what was safe. I finally asked my doctor and felt so relieved when she said well-cooked prawns are perfectly fine. Eating them made me feel so happy and satisfied during those difficult nausea days.
My saas was initially a bit hesitant because elders think seafood is 'hot' for the body during pregnancy. But my doctor assured us that fully cooked prawns are safe in moderation, so my MIL made a delicious, mild prawn curry for me. Just avoid outside street food prawns to prevent infections.
