Is it safe to eat oyster sauce when pregnant?

Answer 1

There's conflicting information here. Some people say there's nothing wrong with eating cooked shellfish, and the nutrients in it are good for the baby. Others say there's a substance in shellfish that could lead to miscarriage or "uncomfortable pregnancy." I can tell you my mother had five children, ate clams during every pregnancy, and never had a problem. My specialist said that there's not a problem eating oyster sauce if you know that it is freshly used and has been heated properly when cooked. So just don't add it after the food is cooked, add it during the cooking process.

Answer 2

There is no such thing as good or bad. Eat everything in moderation especially if it is an ingredient that can't be singled out when you have Chinese meals outside. I have certainly not heard of anyone having to abort a child because of soya sauce.

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure you can. i did, and i have 2 kids now. no doctor ever said i couldn't have soy sauce while pregnant.

Answer 4

There is generally nothing harmful just make sure your sodium intake doens't get too high, soy sauce contains a lot of salt.
