Question

Can I eat shrimp,crab and lobster while pregnant and if so how much a week?

Answer 1

yes you can eat them, dont worry about nothing.

Answer 2

As little as possible.

Answer 3

You can go to Webmd and find the answer to this. I do know that it is a limited amount but not the exact amount. Why even risk your baby by eating something that can be so toxic. I would just say NO.

Answer 4

Yes, you can eat them, but you should limit it. I heard the doctor say not to eat shrimp more than once a week (something about the mercury levels). Fortunately, I don't like seafood. Good Luck!

Answer 5

I don´t remember hearing anything of the sort!  My son is healthy and happy and very intelligent.

I was told no raw meat or fish (no sushi or steak tartare), and one friend told me to eat all the tuna I could for brain food, and the doctor said to limit that to one can a week - mercury.  

Check with your doc, and keep things limited, but don´t be silly, it´s not so bad that you have to abstain for the whole nine months.

Answer 6

You can try and if anything goes wrong u know not to do it again.

Seafood may not have the same affect on u as many other son to be moms.You might be a lucky one.

Answer 7

i would say limited them, but it will be okay if you ate it. my friend  used to eat a can of tuna fish sandwich everyday (that is what she craved) and her son came out fine.
