Question

Can you eat shrimp when pregnant?

Answer 1

I did too -

Answer 2

I ate sushi,.. sometimes I ate fast food.  Towards the last few weeks, I had a couple of sips of wine.  And that child is healthier than the one where I was paranoid about what I was eating....  You just have to be careful to buy quality food.

its the iron in them.. too much can be bad... but you'd have to eat shrimp everyday for a few weeks for anything to happen

2 servings a week is fine
