No shellfish ?!

[joyyjackson]

Is it true you can't eat shellfish like shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams and crabs during pregnancy?

*shrimp

[ireloc]

Not true. Shiro and scallops are low on the Mercury list. Certain fish are high in mercury and you should avoid some farm raised fish.

I've had shrimp lobster and crab just eat with moderation is what my ob said I haven't ate any but a handful of times my whole pregnancy and I'm 30 weeks

[bumpinbaby1995]

I eat shrimp too , haven't had it recently but deff a few times threw out my pregnancy.

Yeah I still eat shrimpies I read that as long as its cooked to the correct internal temp it is fine. I don't eat other seafood, but just to be safe I'd look into it before indulging. :)

I've had crabs too since I asked my dr. she said it was fine

[baby_boy_aboard]

Dr told me no big fish because they high on mercury n no sushi cuz its raw if u having anything else it has to b well cooked no raw sea food

I have the book myidwife gave me. You can have up to 12 oz a week of shellfish. The only fish you Connor eat are shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tile fish.

I ate it with moderation of course :)

[Miss_mom1]

I've ate shrimp, scallops, crab and lobster during my pregnancy and my baby is as healthy as she can be

[Baby_Zander090114]

[munch2369]

I eat shrimp all the time. I would also eat crab.. i dont think,i would eat that other stuff even if i wasnt pregnant.

[FirstTimeMommy89]

I think shrimps are fine the other idk

[Roxanne28]

Agree with @cassidy i think you should avoid those bt to be sure just google it which food you should avoid when pregnant or ask you doctor xx

[hinkypunkheid]

No just swordfish my doctor said.  Besides everything is just another person's opinion. I eat all sorts of seafood during pregnancy and are fine.

[cassidy_]

Yes. They have high mercury in them.
