I loveee prawns and we had them at a function last week, only after that i started worrying. Im in second trimester. Is seafood like this ok or should i avoid? anyone know na.
My mom used to cook fresh prawns for me but with very less spice so that acidity didn't trigger. Cooking it nicely at home is always the safest option for you and the baby.
Please be extremely careful with seafood, especially if bought from outside. Personally, after my loss, I avoided all high-risk foods and shellfish entirely just to have complete peace of mind.
I had a massive craving for prawns masala in my second trimester and ate it well-cooked. Just make sure they are super fresh and completely cooked, raw or semi-cooked seafood is a big risk.
Prawns are actually low in mercury and high in protein, which my app said is great for baby's development. Just track that you are eating them fully cooked and in moderate quantities.
I freaked out after eating a prawn starter at a wedding thinking it was unsafe, but my doc reassured me that thoroughly cooked prawns are perfectly fine. Don't worry, just ensure it's made at home or a hygienic place.
Haha, prawns are great but make sure you don't eat them from that roadside stall! Cook them till they turn pink and firm, and enjoy the extra protein boost.
