Pregnant women must never eat raw or half-cooked crabs. Generally, it takes more than 30 minutes of heating after boiling to achieve the disinfection effect.

3. Choose the correct part of the crab to eat. Pregnant women should not eat crab claws, which is the meat of the large claws.

In addition, the triangular bone bag located in the center of the front edge of the cup shell is the crab stomach. The black line from the crab stomach to the crab navel is the crab intestine. There are also crab heart and crab gills. Pregnant women should not eat these parts. Not only do these parts have no edible value, they also contain a lot of mud and bacteria, which can easily cause food poisoning if eaten.

4. When eating crabs, it is best to dip them in ginger vinegar juice to dispel the cold and kill bacteria.

Foods that are not suitable to be eaten with crabs: When eating crabs, you should not eat them with celery, persimmons, pears, oranges, pomegranates, tomatoes, cantaloupe, peanuts, sweet potatoes, honey, rabbit meat and other foods, otherwise it will cause discomfort to your body. It is not recommended to drink tea or cold drinks within 1 hour after eating crabs.

Although there is controversy in the medical community as to whether eating crabs can cause miscarriage, to be on the safe side, pregnant women should not eat crabs in the early stages of pregnancy. The fetus is unstable in the first three months, so it is better to be cautious.
