We went to a coastal restaurant last weekend and i almost ordered squid then stopped myself. now im second guessing. is seafood like this fine in pregnancy or better to skip? pls share.
Well cooked squid in moderation is generally considered okay, it is low mercury seafood. The key is it must be fully cooked, never raw or half done. I had seafood occasionally and kept it well cooked.
In our coastal family seafood was normal, but during pregnancy I had it cooked well and not too often. My doctor said it was okay in limit. Freshness matters a lot, so buy from a trusted place.
Squid is usually fine when properly cooked and fresh, but seafood needs care during pregnancy. Avoid raw or fried street versions. If you eat seafood regularly, it is worth confirming with your gynac.
