When can pregnant women eat red crab?

Red crab refers to the red swimming crab. Generally, pregnant women are not advised to eat red swimming crab as it may induce uterine contractions, leading to miscarriage or premature delivery. However, if a pregnant woman is in good health and has a particular fondness for the taste of red swimming crab, she may consume it in moderation during the second trimester, which is between the 3rd and 7th months of pregnancy. The second trimester is a period of rapid fetal development, with pregnancy symptoms waning and pregnant women feeling more comfortable. The risk of complications such as miscarriage and embryonic arrest is relatively low during this time. During this period, pregnant women should focus on a nutritious diet and appropriate physical activity. If a pregnant woman has no discomfort such as abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, and all prenatal examinations are normal, she may consume a small amount of red swimming crab without serious consequences. Pregnant women should pay attention to a balanced diet, consuming adequate amounts of eggs, lean meat, milk, bean products, fresh vegetables, and fruits to ensure the healthy growth of the fetus. However, they should avoid being partial to certain foods and not picky eaters. Regular prenatal examinations are also necessary.
