Thoughts on seafood...

in Pregnant after a Loss
What guidelines are you following on safe consumption of seafood per week?

It got me thinking because I had a tuna noodle casserole Monday night and we are planning on having shrimp stirfry tonight. Then on Saturday we are planning on going out and the place we go to
I always order crabcake. I know I am probably being a bit nuts but I'm starting to think that maybe it is too much seafood in one week. Thoughts?

    I stick to once a week on fish and avoid shellfish completely. That's probably on the conservative side, though.

    I love seafood but I try to keep it to these guidelines (taken from whattoexpect.com).  I'm sure you'll be fine if you go with the shrimp + crabcakes (OMG crabcakes sound soooo good)

    the FDA recommends eating 8 to 12 ounces (two average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are low in mercury

    Do some googling. They actually divide seafood into three categories for pregnant women. Clearly look for some more details but unless you live near a coast and have a really nice supply of seafood, most of the common stuff is okay in moderation.

    Thank you ladies! I was out and about when I posted and now am googling it all. It seems like crab and shrimp are in the "low" category, so I feel better. Never got this far along before so it was never really a question.

    Thanks for your quick input!

    I tried to do 2 servings per week, mainly stuff like salmon, flounder, and shrimp. Every now and then tuna or other kinds, but limited and still 2 total servings. I felt pretty comfortable with that. H and I are vegetarian minus occasional fish so I definitely wanted to keep eating it as a protein option.
