Is shrimp safe to eat while pregnant?

I'm going out to dinner tonight at a nice place and im 12 weeks. I dont think its a problem but I'm going with my parents and my mother is determined to find out. Thanks!
 
It is totally fine if you want to eat shrimp. As long as you have a taste for and you are not getting sick off of it, it perfectly fine. Have a good night!
 
I've heard you should avoid shell fish because it is a high risk food for food poisoning. Some fish also contain high amounts of mercury and other metals, although I'm not sure if shrimp falls into this category. There are many things they suggest you avoid during preg because you are more susceptible to getting ill, but most of them are your choice. Liver is a no-no and until recently nuts (now apparently safe to eat again!!!?)
