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?

That is a myth. I ate crabs like 3 times during my pregnancy but maybe one or two each time. My boy is perfectly fine, loves cars and i dont think is hyperactive. He is 4 now. My firstborn, i dont think i ate any crab, is autistic. But shes perfectly beautiful. Just eat moderately. Go eat with your trusted friends. Regarding your husband and mil, i have a feeling theyre gonna blame you for everything that happens to your child. For your husband, tell him of he really loves you, he will he supportive of you and care for both you and baby. Not just the baby. For mil, thrs nothing you can do unless your husband is supportive. Really need to talk to him. Otherwise d only thing you cn do is to stand up for yourself. This is your child. Not hers. She have to step bck.
