Craving crab while prego?

I'm about 12 weeks along now and all i want to eat is crab. My Dr initially said only small amounts are ok, but generally try to avoid it; however, since doing research, everything I've found says 2-6oz servings of crab (and other shell fish thank god!) a week is fine, and potentially beneficial. I really want to go to the crab shack and just eat a whole bucket but I don't know how much is actually safe! What I need to know is how many crab legs (let's say King and/or Dungeness) will yield 6oz of meat?Craving crab while prego?
i can't answer your question either but my doctor always told me seafood was fine to eat. i ate tune all day every day for like 2 or 3 weeks straight. I had a healthy baby boy at 40 weeks
Your server or someone at the restaurant would know. I'd say that getting the smallest order of it you can would be about 4-6 oz. I wouldn't worry about it being exact though, unless you plan on eating it every week religiously, or eat other fishy type food through out the week. you might even be able to look it up on the restaurant's website, if they have one. (I'm pretty sure Joe's Crab Shack would be online, but I'm not sure that's the crab shack you're talking about) But someone (hopefully anyone who's been there longer than a month or so) would most likely know there.Craving crab while prego?
