Can you eat crab meat while pregant?

[T Bell]

Hi all, just wondering if you can eat crab meat when pregnant. My mom brought over her crab dip and I want to eat some so bad, but I am afraid because I am pregnant. Anyone know if its ok or not ok? Thanks

Yes you can but I think you have to limit it to twice a week... (that and other fish/shellfish).

So if you eat crab you get 1 more serving of fish/shellfish a week.
