I need a bit of advice, i am 19 weeks pregnant and have really been craving sea food especially prawns.
I am off out for dinner tonight and i know alot of the menu has seafood, Could anyone tell me if it is okay to eat any as i looked on the internet and some says yes and others no, just wondered if anyone can help please?

    Hi,
    Prawns are ok, as long as they are well cooked and served hot, like in a curry etc.
    Most fish are ok, you just cant eat loads of oily fish or any fish with high levels of mercury like swordfish or marlin.

    most sea food is fine so long as properly cooked
    also try not to eat to much fish with high mercury levels

    shellfish is ok as long as its thoroughly cooked and served hot unless u have an extremely low resistance to toxoplasmosis in which case u shld avoid it completely, all other fish is ok but u do have to limit ur intake of tuna and swordfish etc due to the mercury levels, but oily fish like salmon is actually considered fantastic for pregnancy as it contains omega 3 which is helpful for the development of the baby's brain
