Has anyone ate crab while pregnant? I was told to stay away from crab. Just curious if anyone still eats it and has had…

Not going to lie I follow all the rules about what not to eat. Tehe. BUT in other countries they actually want pregnant women to eat tons of mercury. I've read some studies on it. Really I think that it depends on your baby, I'm not a risk taker, I'm super paranoid so I don't personally know. (And i don't like seafood) But it's not like there is a huge difference between the women in different countries. I cannot remember where it was but it wasn't a crazy place. I feel like it was Like China or something.

then I guess my pregnant teachers Dr lied to her through both her pregnancies lmao which I highly highly doubt

@mommyof2016, not true. its high in mercury. you should only eat like a serving a week.

I currently live on an island. any shellfish is ok. its large predatory fish or fish from high mercury waters that are the issue. eat all the crab you want. shocking how many of your doctors told you that shellfish is high in mercury. its the lowest in mercury unless your water supply is contaminated. stay away from tuna, shark, bluefish, and the like.

tuna is good for you

Yeah just make sure it's cooked! I don't eat a bunch of shrimp.. but eat sushi from time to time. Just need to be cooked 🍣

According to my Ovia app, it's fine as long as it isn't smoked or raw.

Lol, it happens! I get tons of dirty looks when I order sushi at places, buuuutttttt I don't care, I watch which ones I eat, but I still eat it. 😝

Yea I still eat sushi and tuna too even tho they say not too. but like @their.bomb.ass.mom says, in moderation. not all the time. and baby will be just fine. @briannabdb

I guess I just get paranoid lol @their.bomb.ass.mom

I still eat it, even tuna and sushi. I don't eat it every single day, but I've never been one to follow those kind of rules, I eat it in moderation, as I did with my first child and I've had no problems.

Oh okay yeah I was told no crab, shark, other stuff can't remember but been eating shrimp because I feel that's the only seafood I can really eat lol @jordanxavier10

my ob said it was fine. I've eaten it, oysters, lobster etc. she said the higher costly fish is ok, not the low cost like tuna etc..

The Mercury is to high that's why they want you to stay away from crab and other sea food but man I miss it so much! Lol I think of like in the old days they didn't watch what they ate or did anything near what they say we have to do!

🙋🏻I'm still alive and baby's okay. My OB never mentioned crab.
