I really enjoy eating crab, but my elders told me it might not be good for pregnant women and to avoid it. Is it generally considered safe to eat crab during pregnancy?
I am in my second trimester and have been craving crab masala so much, but I'm too scared to try it! Did anyone else eat seafood during their second trimester without any issues? My mom says to be careful with shellfish.
Oh yaar, I had major seafood cravings and actually asked my gynac about crab! She said it's totally fine but strictly told me to avoid street-side places. Just eat well-cooked crab from a clean place and you are good to go.
Absolutely, crab is low in mercury and packed with good nutrients. Just order from a premium, hygienic place or cook it at home. No need to overthink it, just make sure it's piping hot and fully cooked.
Crab is actually a great source of protein and low in fat, which is awesome. Just make sure it is completely cooked to avoid any infections, and don't eat it raw. If your doctor has allowed your routine walks, keeping active and eating clean protein like this is great!
Eating for two is a myth, but carrying twins meant I was always hungry! Crab is safe and healthy, but honestly, cleaning and eating it with a big belly is a whole workout in itself. Just ensure it's cooked thoroughly, no raw stuff.
Yes, crab is perfectly safe as long as it is cooked properly to kill any bacteria. Since we have limited time for elaborate cooking, just get it prepared hygienically at home if possible. Avoid high-mercury fish, but crab is fine in moderation.
