A member asked:

Is shrimp ok to eat during pregnancy? and how much is too much to eat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes in moderation: But, make sure it is from a reliable source and fresh. Do not ingest excessive amounts of shellfish. Certain seafood is not good for you during pregnancy (such as tunafish and swordfish) so please check with your OB first.
