Is crab meat safe to eat while pregnant?

[tristan_renea]

I've heard that fish and other seafood is unsafe to eat, does anyone know if that includes crab meat? Imitation crab meat?

I've ate crab or lobster tail once a week. My doc said it's fine as long as it's not high mercury dish like swordfish or tuna. She said fish is really good for you in moderation...just like Sarah and showard said above.

It might depend on where it is from.  Look online -- there is heavy metal contamination in, for example, fish from the Atlantic Ocean, but not the same problem in fish from Alaska.

It's fine. Just has to be fully cooked and in moderation.
