    Some sea foods and Fishes can be safely eaten in pregnancy. It is safe to eat the following types of seafood:

    • Cooked fish. Sushi only if the fish has been cooked thoroughly.

    • Seafood/shellfish as long as it has been cooked, for example mussels, lobster, crab, oysters, scallops, clams and cold, pre-cooked prawns.

    • Eating oily fish at least 2 times per week gives you a good source of protein and omega acids which are good for baby brain development.
