Dr. Zhang Jianhai
Pregnant women may consume freshwater clams in moderation, as they are relatively rich in nutritional value. Freshwater clams contain trace elements, calcium, and protein, which help nourish the body, boost immunity, and support fetal growth and development. However, individuals allergic to freshwater clams should avoid consuming them.
