not allowed to eat crab while pregnant

Hey moms, I'm feeling really sad right now. For the past two weeks, I've been craving crab, but my mother-in-law won't let me eat even a little bit. My husband always follows her lead, so he's constantly watching over me... I love crab, and I've been avoiding it since I got pregnant. But for some reason, I've been craving it so much in the past two weeks!!! I've been crying a lot and feeling stressed... sometimes I even feel small contractions in my belly. My mother-in-law says that if I eat crab, my child will become hyperactive... Is that true, moms?

maybe have imitation crab meat instead if really can't have crab meat? but this myth isn't even a widespread belief haha. hyperactive? lol if you say eat less seafood, it would still have some logic to it due to many seafood containing dangerous chemicals. but definitely not because of child will become hyperactive. Singapore's seafood are generally safe as long as you get them from reputable sources.
