I eat it but I limit it to once every two weeks. If it were up to me Id eat it every day lol my doc said it was fine but in moderation. Ive eaten it with all my kids and they are perfectly healthy.

I would say no. My doctor said no shellfish due to the contamination of shrimp and stuff. I did have some later in pregnancy but I would order shrimp just bc she said so.
