I just wanna know if my baby will be alright.

You're fine... Shellfish is fine during pregnancy just make sure its cooked well and steer clear of large high mercury fish. I was the same way and the only "meat" I ate my entire first trimester was seafood.

You want to be careful.  They main reason is because it is so was to get food poisoning from seafood plus some gas mercury,  some have parasites, ect. So just be careful and you should be fine...and limit it.
