Ate crab cakes that were prepared (cooked crab) a few days before they were fried when i was 6 weeks pregnant. if i didn't get sick, could there be a pr?

No: Eseafood consumption risk is due to mercury. This occurs in large ocean going fish with a long lifespan. Crabs do not live long enough for tis to occur; a toxic insult at that gestational age results in miscarriage generally. Whatever problems that may occur will not be a result of the crab cakes. Don't worry.
