As is well known, once a woman becomes pregnant, she should pay more attention to many aspects, especially in terms of diet, and be even more careful. Many women choose to give up their favorite foods to avoid miscarriage and missing the baby due to accidental consumption. So, can pregnant seafood be eaten?
Most experts believe that pregnant women can eat seafood. Because most seafood mainly consists of fish, shrimp, and shellfish, some deep-sea fish are rich in DHA, and shrimp can also supplement the calcium needed by the body, with high nutritional value. Moreover, fish protein particles are smaller than meat protein particles, making it easier to be absorbed.
However, seafood is mostly a cold food, and pregnant women should consume it in moderation. You can eat some seafood such as fish and shrimp, up to 1-2 times a week, with about 100 grams each time. At the same time, avoid eating seafood that is cold in nature, such as crabs, turtles, etc. To avoid causing diarrhea and even inducing miscarriage.
It is worth noting that if a pregnant woman is allergic to seafood before pregnancy, she should not blindly consume seafood to supplement protein after pregnancy, because the pregnant woman's body will become more sensitive after pregnancy, and consuming seafood can cause serious allergic reactions, even laryngeal edema, endangering the lives of the pregnant woman and the fetus. If pregnant women are not allergic to seafood before pregnancy, they can eat seafood during pregnancy to supplement protein in the body and promote fetal growth.
