But if you&#8217;re pregnant, you&#8217;ve probably heard that you should avoid some types of sushi and seafood. The good news is that most types of seafood,  crab and lobster, are safe to eat while you&#8217;re pregnant. Not only is it safe, eating seafood has a lot of benefits for you and your baby. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits of Eating Seafood While Pregnant<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Several studies have shown that the benefits of eating seafood low in mercury while pregnant outweigh the risks. In one study, women who ate less omega-3 fatty acids from seafood had a higher chance of becoming depressed during pregnancy and postpartum. This study concluded that eating seafood during pregnancy could improve pregnant women&#8217;s mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Another study followed 805 mother-child pairs and asked how much fish the mothers ate during pregnancy. Children of women who ate between 1 and 3 servings of fish weekly while pregnant were tested between the ages of 6 and 12. The children had lower metabolic syndrome scores, which meant they were less likely to get heart disease or diabetes. <\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: LizzyMedia (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
