Can pregnant women eat lobster?
Disease description:
I’m over three months pregnant, and I’ve been craving lobster lately. Is it safe for pregnant women to eat lobster?
Pregnant women can eat lobster, but they should consume it in moderation and avoid eating large quantities at once to prevent overburdening the gastrointestinal tract. Eating lobster in appropriate amounts can help supplement calcium in the body and provides abundant protein and iodine. Lobster must be thoroughly cooked before consumption; eating undercooked lobster may lead to parasitic infection.
