We had a family lunch and everyone was having crab curry, i love it but didnt touch it because i wasnt sure. Im 19 weeks. Is seafood like this okay or better to avoid?
I was a bit cautious with shellfish during pregnancy and asked my doctor. Cooked properly and in moderation it can be fine for most. But if you have any history of allergy, please confirm with your gynac first.
If you eat crab, make sure its fully cooked and fresh, never undercooked. Seafood in moderation is okay but avoid high mercury ones. If you are unsure about a particular type, ask your doctor.
We eat seafood at home and crab was fine for me, but always well cooked. My amma said fresh and fully cooked only. Just keep it moderate and check with your gynac if you have any allergy concerns.
