Can pregnant women eat hairy crabs?

Women should pay attention to their diet during pregnancy. Even if they liked to eat something before pregnancy, they should be careful after pregnancy. Because what you eat will have a direct impact on the fetus. Many causes of miscarriage are due to pregnant women eating related substances, which cause the fetus to not develop normally. Therefore, diet during pregnancy is key. So, can pregnant women eat hairy crabs?

1. Many people say that pregnant women cannot eat hairy crabs because eating them will cause miscarriage. Moreover, according to some Jiangnan folk sayings, if you eat hairy crabs while pregnant, your baby will spit bubbles like the hairy crabs. The chief physician of a hospital in Dalian refuted this view on Weibo. He said that his wife ate hairy crabs many times during pregnancy, the delivery went smoothly, and the baby was healthy. In his opinion, eating hairy crabs will not cause miscarriage in pregnant women.

2. Experts explain that hairy crabs will slightly affect the uterine smooth muscle of pregnant women. Pregnant women with habitual miscarriage are indeed not suitable to eat hairy crabs, but ordinary pregnant women can still eat them in small amounts, even in the first three months of pregnancy. Hairy crab meat is white meat that contains high-quality protein and has higher nutritional value than red meat. For pregnant women, as long as it is consumed in small amounts, its nutritional value is still very good.

3. Some parents are afraid to let their children eat crabs, believing that cold foods are bad for children. Experts say that for children, it is okay to eat crabs occasionally, 1-2 crabs each time, as long as they do not eat them often. The fat and cholesterol contained in hairy crabs can improve human brain function, promote brain development, and maintain the balance of human hormone levels if consumed in moderation.

4. In addition to pregnant women with habitual miscarriage who should avoid eating hairy crabs, people with weak constitution or those who are in the nourishing period should not eat hairy crabs. Because people who are weak and in need of nourishment generally need warming food or medicine, the cold nature of crabs conflicts with warming food.

In addition, patients with cholecystitis, gallstones, gout and hyperlipidemia should not eat hairy crabs. After eating hairy crabs, these patients are prone to insufficient bile secretion, which makes fat difficult to digest and can easily lead to diarrhea symptoms.
