Can Pregnant women eat crab???

Answer 1

I believe that the concern is over two things...The iodine level you would consume from eating a large amount of crab and food poisoning from raw or undercooked shellfish affecting your unborn child. As a general rule I'd say that cooked shellfish is fine no more than 2 times a week and augmented by other items. I wouldn't reccomend eating your way through the all you can eat seafood buffet though by any means. Some is okay but don't over do it.

I found this on a website. Hmmm...Very informative! Good luck and congratulations!

"You can eat most types of fish when you're trying for a baby, pregnant or breastfeeding. Eating fish is good for your health and the development of your baby. But you just need to avoid some types of fish and limit the amount you eat of some others.

This table shows the maximum number of portions you should have each week for the fish you need to limit.

oily fish - 2 portions
tuna - 2 tuna steaks or 4 cans
shark, swordfish and marlin - don't eat don't eat 1
The figures for tuna are based on tuna steak weighing 140g when cooked or 170g raw and medium-size cans with a drained weight of about 140g per can.

Canned tuna doesn't count as oily fish, so you can eat this as well as your maximum two portions of oily fish – but if you’re eating canned tuna, don’t pick fresh tuna as your oily fish. And remember, if you eat two fresh tuna steaks in a week, you shouldn't eat any other oily fish that week.

The limits for shark, swordfish, marlin and tuna are because these fish contain more mercury than other types of fish. The amount of mercury we get from food isn't harmful for most people, but if you take in high levels of mercury when you’re pregnant this could affect your baby's developing nervous system.

Oily fish are very good for our health, but we need to limit how much we have because they contain pollutants such as dioxins and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). See oily fish above.

Unless your GP advises otherwise, you should also avoid taking fish liver oil supplements when you’re pregnant or trying for a baby because these are high in vitamin A, which can be harmful to your unborn baby.

When you're pregnant you might also want to avoid eating raw shellfish. This is to reduce your chances of getting food poisoning, which can be particularly unpleasant during pregnancy.

See the links below for more advice about what foods you should avoid."

Also...

"Children and babies
Don’t give any fish or shellfish to babies younger than six months because there is a chance they might have an allergic reaction.

Children should avoid eating any shark, swordfish or marlin. This is because the levels of mercury in these fish can affect the development of children’s growing nervous systems.

You might also want to avoid giving raw shellfish to babies and children to reduce their risk of getting food poisoning."

Can Pregnant Women Eat Crab

Answer 4

Some considers eating "bottom feeders" not ideal for pregnant women. This is because ocean floor may be comtaminated with heavy metals (mercury, etc) that is known to cause birth defects, and bottom feeders such as crabs, shrimps, and other shell fish are thought to be more contaminated than sea food that are not bottom feeders.

If you want to believe this or not is up to you.... I am not quite convinced bottom feeders are any worse than other food that are available, as our eco-systems are tightly connected.

You'll probably see lots of opinions here.

Only specific marine species contain high levels of mercury, not all of them, so you're safe to enjoy crab. Animals that contain high levels of mercury include shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish. Outside of these, you should continue to enjoy seafood as it's a high quality protein that's rich with omega 3 fatty acids and low in saturated fat. It's recommended that you eat 12 oz of seafood each week but to not eat the same type of seafood twice in one week. Before enjoying a meal you should look up what the recommended serving size of your seafood of choice is. E.g. it's recommended you not eat more than 6 oz of albacore tuna per week.

Answer 6

No but pregnant women can be crabby!

Seriously, crab may have high mercury content. Avoid during pregnancy and while lactating.

Answer 8

Avoid crab if possible. As those are very heaty and your body may not be able to take it. However, if you are over 3+ months pregnant then you can chek your gynac and have some.

Answer 9

You should probably refrain from eating crab during your pregnancy due to the high levels of mercury in most ocean fish and crusteceans. If, you are craving fish, try tilapia (once a week). It is fished readily and doesn't live in the water as long as most fish do. When in doubt, talk to your ob/gyn!

Answer 10

Getting pregnant should be so natural and effortless that you should not have to fret or worry about it, yet for some women it may not be so.

So is there a single best way to get pregnant? The truth is that so many factors come into play when a woman is looking to conceive that just getting one of them wrong could reduce her chances of getting pregnant in that month to zero.

Below are 5 facts that you need to know if your dream is to hold your baby in your arms soon:

1. The fact that you bleed on a monthly basis does not mean that you are ovulate during every cycle. This is what is known as an anovulatory cycle. This means that you may bleed but do not release an egg or ovulate.

2. Ovulation does not always occur on day 14 like most of us believe. The day you ovulate will depend on the length of your menstrual cycle.

3. It is possible for viable and healthy sperm to live inside a woman's body for up to 5 days but a freshly released egg will live for a maximum of 24 hours. Timing is therefore very crucial

4. It is possible for a woman to miscarry without even been aware that she was pregnant, especially if it happens around the time her period is due.

5. Research shows that all forms of artificial and store bought lubricants (e.g. Vaseline, KY Jelly) damage sperm and must be avoided as all costs. By the way saliva is just as damaging to the sperm as all the artificial lubricants, so no more oral sex for now.
