How much cooked prawns can you eat while pregnant?

It is generally safe to eat cooked prawns during pregnancy, but it's important to consider the following:

- Mercury levels: Prawns may contain low levels of mercury, which can be harmful to the fetus if consumed in large amounts. However, the amount of mercury in prawns is generally considered safe for pregnant women when consumed in moderate amounts.

- Food safety: Like all seafood, it is important to cook prawns thoroughly to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. Prawns should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) as measured by a food thermometer.

- Allergic reactions: Some people may be allergic to prawns or other types of shellfish. If you have a shellfish allergy, it is important to avoid eating prawns.

In general, it is recommended that pregnant women consume 2-3 servings of seafood per week. A serving of seafood is considered to be about 4 ounces (113 grams) of cooked fish or shellfish. This amount of seafood can be divided into several smaller meals or snacks throughout the week.
