We are big seafood lovers and prawns are my fav. Now everyone at ghar is telling me to avoid it completely. Is it really harmful or can i have it cooked properly sometimes?
Normally well-cooked prawns are fine because they are low in mercury. But since I had a history of pregnancy complications, I always preferred asking my doctor before adding any seafood to my diet. Just mention it to your gynac once to be 100% sure.
Prawns are actually a great source of protein, so don't worry. Just make sure they are washed properly and cooked till they are completely firm. Never eat raw seafood or sushi during these months.
Prawns are totally fine yaar, actually they have very low mercury compared to other fish. Just make sure they are cooked properly at home and not runny. Enjoy your prawn curry guilt-free!
I was extremely cautious about everything I ate after my loss, so I completely avoided prawns just to be safe. But medically, my doctor did say they are fine if they are fully cooked and fresh. If you feel any anxiety, it's okay to skip them for a few months.
I totally understand how scary it is to eat seafood when everyone gives different advice. But let me reassure you, well-cooked prawns are absolutely safe and actually very healthy. Just make sure they are fresh and completely cooked.
In our coastal homes, we eat fish and prawns regularly, but my doctor advised me to be careful during pregnancy. She said prawns are perfectly fine and good for health, but only if they are cooked completely. Avoid eating them from outside places.
Beta, seafood is generally considered 'hot' for the body in our traditional beliefs, so elders advise eating it in very small quantities. If you really want to eat prawns, just have a small piece or two, and ensure it is cleaned and cooked thoroughly at home.
