My nutritionist at Fortis mentioned that fully cooked prawns are actually a great source of lean protein. Just make sure you ask your doctor about sourcing them fresh to avoid any foodborne infections.

I totally get how scary it is to eat seafood during pregnancy, I used to double-check everything I ate out of sheer anxiety! Prawns are safe as long as they are completely cooked, never eat them raw or semi-cooked.

I ate well-cooked prawns curry throughout my second trimester and had no issues at all. Now my toddler loves fish too! Just ensure they are cleaned and cooked properly at home.

If you eat seafood, you can have prawns in moderation, just make sure they are freshly cooked. Eat with a happy and positive mind, as your thoughts affect the baby too.

From my experience, prawns are fine to eat but only if they are thoroughly cooked till they are firm. Avoid eating them at restaurants where you aren't sure of freshness, home-cooked is best.
