We had calamari at a restaurant last week and I suddenly remembered im pregnant and got tension. I love seafood but not sure about squid now. Anyone here ate it during pregnancy?
I literally searched the entire internet for this when my cravings hit! Squid is totally fine if it's cooked well, but honestly, cleaning it is such a project. Just make sure you aren't eating it raw, and enjoy your meal without overthinking.
Listen, you can eat squid but it must be completely cooked and fresh. No half-cooked or raw seafood during these nine months, okay? If you have even a little doubt about the hygiene of the place, just stick to basic chicken or fish.
Omg, I was craving butter garlic squid so much in my second trimester! I asked my doc and she said well-cooked squid is actually great because it is high in protein and low in fat. Just make sure u get it from a super clean restaurant!
My thyroid levels were fluctuating so much during pregnancy that I had to be super careful with my diet. I wanted to eat squid but my doctor advised me to have only properly cooked, fresh seafood to avoid any infections. Please check with your gynac during your next follow-up before eating it.
I had a few complications early on, so my doctor put me on a very strict diet and told me to avoid exotic seafood entirely. Since every pregnancy is different, please ask your gynac first. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
