Can pregnant women have shrimp?

My husband brought some home from the store this afternoon and I REALLY want some.

As long as it is cooked and you dont have seafood allergies you can have it.

As long as it's cooked you can have some. It won;t hurt you or the baby.

Thanks ladies!!!  I LOVE SHRIMP!!  LOL  He brought home a bag of it from Walmart that said 41-60 Large Cooked Shrimp....Pretty sure I just ate a little over 1/2 the bag LOL.

Yes, shrimp is very low in mercury and considered safe for pregnant women in small amounts.  As long as you aren't eating it more than twice a week, it's perfectly fine!

It's not on the list for seafoods to avoid, I craved shrimp with all my boys and ate shrimp like crazy, it actually does a pregnant body good lol!!

I ate 3lbs of crab legs in my 5th month , i got sick of course as anyone who eats 3lbs of crab legs would.. but my son didn't come out with any claws or antyhing.

So I think you're good.
