Hi Amelia!,

i think they say not to eat seafood that is undercooked as they say with other meats.

Here is a list of some meats, poultry and fish to avoid while pregnant:


Hot dogs
Sausages
Deli meat
Under cooked meat like beef and chicken
Pates
Ready to eat cold seafood
Raw eggs and raw egg dishes
Raw seafood, especially shellfish

but if ur not sure about eating it, then maybe get something different..the restaurant should have other stuff? hth

Not meant to have deep sea fish because of mercury levels i think and undercooked or raw seafood. Im sure prawn cutlets as long as they looked cooked would be fine. Just be sensible in what you eat

Yeah i always avoided buffets and def ones with seafood....u never know if the temperature is high enuf etc.....

Is it all buffet or can u ask for cooked meals too....if u can id be doing that....or perhaps ask if u can change where you eat....im sure they'd understand why??

[Amelia]

I have asked to change where to eat at but they didn't want too so I think I will get Subway onthe way there!!!!
