A member asked:

I ate sea food and im pregnant, did i harm my baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: As long as it is not raw , raw seafood can carry bacteria and parasites so all seafood must be cooked and certain seafoods the ones with a lot of mercury should be avoided , please discuss with your OB what u can and cannot eat and go by your ob's advise.
