Seafood in 2nd trim

Hi mummies! Is eating (cooked) seafood safe? I’ve been eating seafood at least twice a week, always. I’ve been craving for seafood hence i’ve been eating them at least twice a week. You name it— cockles, gong gong, mussels (all cooked). I am in my 16 weeks. Please help! #advicepls

Not recommended to eat shellfish, raw or cooked they can still contain bacteria that cause food poisoning. They are bottom dwellers which feed on junk and can have toxins/bacteria like e.coli that can affect the fetus. If have craving best to eat sparingly and at reputable places only. Fish like shark and tuna are high in mercury and should be avoided too, might cause birth defects. Best to google before eating anything😊
