Is Lobster shellfish??

[Pixiefish]

as in is it a banned food when you're pregnant. Am lusting after it but have a notion that as its a crustacean it'll be on the banned list. Twoud be fresh and cooked in a local restaurant which specialises in lobster. I'm 35 weeks

Yes its shellfish.
Whether it could be harmful that late in pg I have no idea.

Ooooh, yes it's very shellfish. It never shares anything

(first night out down the pub since having DD2, sorry couldn't resist )

ta. that's what I thought but I'm so desperate for some and am worried the season will be over by the time I've had the baby

Guess I'll just have to wait till next year

I would eat it at 35 weeks - but don't listen to me - I craved and ate king prawns when pg!

what could happen?

I've had sucha sh$t pregnancy- everything tht could go wrong has gone wrong so I'm a bit scared

I had lobster a while ago. Is it a problem of the lobster being loaded up with heavy metals? I would think it might not be too, too bad at 35 weeks. Since it's fresh, and freshly cooked, I don't see bacteria being much of a problem.

I have not been very cautious since first trimester, basically just eating whatever I had available and wanted. That included some gooey things on the halfshell one night, which are most definitely banned (but knew they were fresh and local).
