Why is seafood bad to eat while pregnant?

[Naturally_Nea]

Seafood isn't bad for you while pregnant as long as you eat it in moderations. It's said that 12oz a week is a suffice amount but avoid fish high in mercury. Such amounts predatory fish. But salmon, pollock, shrimp, canned tuna etc are ok.

I've been eating it. I love shrimp. And we have a ton of it so we cook it once a week.

Also no raw fish...for the sushi lovers

I also live in Louisiana and my doctor has never said anything about not eating seafood but normally I do not want it.....   :) which I absolutely love seafood I just have a picky baby!

I live in Louisiana and some people think our lives revolve around seafood... probably because it does. I don't eat seafood often, maybe twice a week. My dr has never told me to not eat seafood, he only gave me a list of medicines to take and to avoid. I think that if he had concerns he'd tell you to stop.

I just ate crab, shrimp and salmon today! you are fine! just moderation:)

All seafood is not bad to eat. You want to limit your tuna intake avoid swordfish, shark, and other seafood high in mercury. You can indulge a little in shell fish. Salmon, whiiting, tilapia are some fish that are ok to eat as well.
Talk to your doctor they normally will provide a list

Mostly predatory fish is what you want to avoid due to mercury levels. There is a list online on what to avoid. Just make sure the fish you do eat is cooked.
