Haha @WafflesFriendsWork I was so thinking that! I would kill for some crab legs!
Crab legs are delicious and I get them on DEEP sale at Giant every once in awhile.
I did some SERIOUS research and had a big discussion with DH about what I will/won't do while pregnant. I've eaten sushi, crab legs, exercised, slept of my stomach/back, etc. All things in moderation and limiting things as necessary. I've also looked at what other countries do and don't recommend. So many things are a "no" but it's basically because there is a tiny, tiny chance of a potential negative effect or no research. In France pregnant women drink wine and in Japan they eat sushi. (FWIW I've decided not to drink until at least the third Tri and then only a small glass of red wine.) There's a great book that talks about risks and studies - hopefully some one else can remember the name.
Re: Is Crab Meat Safe
...seriously they are fine.
