Is it ok to eat shrimp while pregnant

Different doctors will tell you different things about eating seafood when pregnant. I have found that it did not harm my baby at all and she is prefectly healthy. The only advice I have is to make sure that the seafood you do eat is very fresh. Iodine in certain seafood may be harmful according to certain doctors. However, in many Asian countrys, the pregnant women eat sushi and other seafoods eveyday and are fine. So, just make sure your seafood is fresh.Also, the prenatal vitamins given to me by my OB-GYN have zinc in them, so I dont see how it could be harmful to the baby.
