We had a beach trip planned and i was craving prawns so bad, but then i got a little tension. Im only 7 weeks na, is seafood like this safe this early or should i wait? pls share if anyone ate it.
I am in my second trimester now and actually stayed away from seafood early on because I was too scared of allergies. Did anyone else also get super anxious about eating fish or prawns in the beginning? It is so stressful to decide what to eat.
My mother-in-law told me to avoid shell fish because it creates too much heat in the body, but my doctor said well-cooked prawns are actually a good source of protein. I trusted my doctor and had some mild prawn curry occasionally, it was perfectly fine.
Actually, well-cooked prawns are fine in moderation, but honestly speaking, doctor advice is best here. Just ask your gynac once in your next visit. If you do eat, make sure they are super fresh and never raw or undercooked.
Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be very strict with my overall diet and focused on safe protein sources. Prawns are good for protein but honestly, always consult your gynac first because seafood can sometimes cause stomach issues, which we definitely want to avoid.
Please be very careful dear, I had a miscarriage earlier so I became extremely paranoid about seafood. If you really crave them, ensure they are cooked thoroughly at home and totally fresh. Better yet, just skip them for the first trimester to be absolutely safe.
Haan, you can eat them but strictly ghar pe cooked and nicely cleaned, bahar ka bilkul mat khana. First trimester is delicate, na, so food infection se bachna is very important. Just keep the portion small.
I am not a doctor so can't say medically, but I also craved prawns during my first trimester. I just ate a tiny portion of home-cooked prawn curry once or twice and I was totally fine. Just listen to your body and avoid street food.
Oh my god, I used to google literally every single ingredient during early pregnancy and was so scared of food poisoning! Prawns are okay if they are washed and cooked really well, but honestly the anxiety of eating seafood made me avoid it completely. If you are worried, maybe just eat a tiny bit?
Honestly, in this heat and 3rd trimester fatigue, even thinking about cleaning prawns makes me want to sleep for three days. If you have someone to cook them thoroughly for you, go for it! Just make sure they are fully cooked, no raw stuff.
