Shrimp is on the "good to go" list

Make sure your steak is all the way cooked, and you're golden. Enjoy!

I've stayed away from shrimp, but probably because I'm allergic to it.

I think shrimp gets the green light for all you non-allergy prone ladies. Go for it.

I'm the "worst" preggo ever.

I eat whatever I feel like.

ENJOY!!! I am pretty sure that shrimp and shellfish are ok as long as they are cooked throughly.

Shrimp is perfectly fine. Docs suggest you stay away from seafood that contains high levels of mercury like tuna, mackerel, swordfish, etc. Also, I eat my steaks medium or medium rare, although it is suggested you get them well done. A steak is not a steak to me unless there is some pink to it.

That will show you what fish you can eat, how much you can eat, and what fish to avoid.
