My family is planning to cook prawns for dinner, and I usually love them. I'm pregnant now, so I wanted to ask if prawns are safe during pregnancy? Any advice would be appreciated.
When I was at Fortis, the chief clinical nutritionist told me that well-cooked prawns are absolutely fine. Just ensure they are fresh and prepared under hygienic conditions, always check with your hospital team first if doubtful.
According to my pregnancy tracker, prawns are great for protein and omega-3 but they MUST be fully cooked. Avoid raw or semi-cooked ones completely to prevent any infection.
I felt so much craving for prawns in my first trimester but was too scared. Finally, my mother made well-cooked prawns at home and I felt so happy and satisfied after eating it!
