Seafood, like crawfish or crayfish, is very nutritious and full of great vitamins, minerals, omega-3's, and lean protein. Because the Mercury levels are considered to be the lowest in this seafood, crawfish or crayfish may be enjoyed with two 6-oz servings a week. It is important to eat a well balanced diet that includes food from all the food groups.
There isn't any reason you can't eat seafood, but I am sure you already know certain foods (while pregnant) can cause heartburn. Seafood (not too rich) is very healthy for you. I never believed this one for many years, but it's true ... if you eat cheese in the evening it can cause nightmares. I've heard so many people complain of that and I have experienced it myself. It's best to eat the blander foods, but if you are out having a good time then just have a little sea food and enjoy.
Pregnant women should eat everything but they really should eat more fruits and drink more natural juices. It's also recommended for mothers to be to take walks trough mountains and to spend more time in nature. This is recommended for keeping the baby healthier and the mother as well and it's also very good and effective for giving birth easier. Yes, a pregnant woman can eat seafood but she must be very careful about what seafoods she can eat because a lot of seafood contains mercury, which can be very harmful to the fetus. Bottom-feeder fish are the worst. A pregnant woman should definitely avoid:
* swordfish * shark * blowfish
* tilefish * king mackerel The following fish should not be eaten because they can contain industrial pollutant in their fatty tissues:
* blue fish * stripped bass * salmon * pike * trout * walleye http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/nutritioninpregn/a/aaabavoidfood.htm

It is probably best to avoid it. Although some seafood is safe while pregnant you may want to avoid a lot that it might contain. The main concern for eating seafood while pregnant is the amount of mercury levels fish contain. You certainly don't want to consume any bottom feeder fish. Avoid eating fish such as swordfish, blowfish, shark, some shrimp, some calamri etc.
Yes, pregnant women can eat seafood if it is not contaminated. Usually when there are warnings about pregnant women eating fish or other food, it is because the water was polluted.
For instance, in Lexington, NC, there were signs around Abbot's creek and its tributaries saying that the creek was contaminated with mercury and that pregnant women should limit their intake to a certain amount. The nearby battery factory allegedly dumped waste into the creek.
You should not eat raw fish or seafood when pregnant.

can pregnant women eat shrimp Answer: No, it is not advisable for pregnant women to eat shrimp. There are too many risks involved with seafood - one common risk is that the food could be contaminated with bacteria.
The most common types of sea food found in seafood salad recipes are shrimp and different types of tuna. Sometimes recipes will also call for something more exotic like crab or lobster.
