I have a nutrition wheel guide for eating right in pregnancy from my hospital, there's a picture of shrimp in the protein portion.. so I'd hope it's safe because they're encouraging it haha!

Yes! It is ok to eat up to 12oz of shrimp a week.

I think shellfish is fine as long as it's cooked through?

Yep, so long as it's cooked through it's totally fine. I ate a lot of shrimp when pregnant with DD

My doctor recommends eating healthy and moderately of seafood. Just keep the high mercury items to a minimum. I eat shrimp and salmon at least 2 times a month and always have, with all of mine, and I'm expecting #7 in Feb.
