I love prawns and was craving them badly yesterday but my mum stopped me na. Now im confused if seafood like this is okay during pregnancy or not. Anyone ate prawns and it was fine?
Yes, prawns are actually a great source of lean protein and low in carbs, which is excellent if you are watching your sugar levels. Just make sure they are completely cooked and avoid any raw or semi-cooked seafood. Also, limit the heavy creamy gravies to keep your weight in check.
If you eat non-veg, then well-cooked prawns are fine, but try to have fresh home-cooked food as much as possible. Focus on positive thoughts and clean eating during these months. Take care of your diet and stay healthy.
Oh I absolutely craved prawns dynamites during my pregnancy! You can totally eat them, just please don't eat them raw or from sketchy street stalls. Make sure they are cooked till they curl up properly, otherwise your stomach will have a wild party you don't want.
My doctor told me that prawns are actually low-mercury seafood, making them safe to eat during pregnancy. They have good omega-3 fatty acids which help in baby's brain development. Just ensure they are thoroughly cleaned, deveined, and cooked at a high temperature.
Please be extremely careful with seafood. I had some severe stomach infections during my pregnancy which caused complications, so my doctor told me to completely avoid prawns unless I was 100% sure they were fresh and deeply cooked at home. If you feel any stomach pain or vomiting, check with your doctor immediately.
