LOL me too!

How frustrating they didn't have a vege option. Glad to hear you haven't had any adverse effects though Emmecat.

Ah the joys of being a vegetarian...man I found it hard to find things I could 'safely' eat while out when pregnant. Oh when I say that I mean lunches etc when on the run...not supposed to eat salad so that rules a heck of a lot of vege stuff out!

I had the same sort of thing happen to me when 8mths preg. It was at a catered wedding and I had to get them to make me a sandwich as there was nothing I could eat. And I thought that it was common practice to have at least one totally vege meal.]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:46:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34976&PID=1113626&title=shellfish-bugger#1113626 <![CDATA[Shellfish!

Oh, that's so frustrating! I'm always really cautious of punch, it's so often the 'non-alcoholic' option that you kind of get used to assuming that, people should make it clear if it's not! ]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:36:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34976&PID=1113608&title=shellfish-bugger#1113608 <![CDATA[Shellfish!

as everyone says it is not worth stressing about as if there was a problem you would know by now. I definitely wouldnt recommend eating shellfish while you are pregnant as there is not only the risk of food poisoning, but the risk of paralytic shellfish poisoning and the toxin that causes it is not destroyed by heating to over 120 degrees so it is still active. psp is caused by algal blooms where the shellfish is collected so if you know the source then you are probably ok.]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:23:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34976&PID=1113595&title=shellfish-bugger#1113595 <![CDATA[Shellfish!

You'll be fine Emmecat.

I ate loads of (cooked) shellfish throughout my pregnancy - mussels, scallops, prawns, oysters etc... I love it WAY too much!

Don't stress hun, you would have been sick by now if the shellfish was dodgy.

I was told not to eat anything without eyes and make sure it's piping hot - so prawns etc ok mussels, scallops not... but as I love seafood I have been eating everything as long as it's fresh and hot. No issues so far! ]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:36:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34976&PID=1113455&title=shellfish-bugger#1113455 <![CDATA[Shellfish!

Thanks guys   Feeling fine here apart from a rotten cold and I'm pretty sure the shellfish didn't cause that lol

I'm sure they'd have taken lots of care at an event like that (imagine the repercussions if a bunch of guests got food poisoning!), and since everything was hot and freshly cooked, I'm sure it'll be fine. Shellfish can be prone to food poisoning, but I think under the circumstances it's not too likely to be an issue, and as has been mentioned, you're not showing any signs of being crook yet.

Grr at them for not providing for vegetarians, though! I thought everyone did that these days!!

It wasn't at a restaurant, it was at a private estate (dont ya know ooohhhh very la dee da lol )...but it was cooked by a chef from a seafood restaurant so hopefully he knew what he was doing!!!

See, THIS is another reason I don' eat meat *mutter mutter*

If it was dodge you'd know about it by now, and if it was cooked you'll be fine.
The main reason its on the do not eat list is cause most people eat their shell fish either raw or cold.]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:47:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34976&PID=1113040&title=shellfish-bugger#1113040 <![CDATA[Shellfish!

i think if you are ever concerned about anything just talk to your midwife

the good news is that if you were at a restaurant the shellfish is likely to have been very good quality and fresh as opposed to shellfish bought in the supermarket.]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:42:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34976&PID=1113021&title=shellfish-bugger#1113021 <![CDATA[Shellfish!

Ah I'm a bit worried about this now....we went out to  a special themed engagement dinner last night and even though the groom-to-be knows me quite well, it turns out they didn't cater for vegetarians AT ALL so the only thing other than bread that I felt I could ethically eat (and that was questionable) was the shellfish. EVERYTHING was shellfish, prawns....or beef.  Seeing as I very very occasionally eat a piece of fish-and never ever beef-  then I thought that was the best option. I asked the chef if it was ok for pg women to eat shellfish & prawns and he said yes they're cooked and hot etc.  (although the shrimp weren't)...but now I'm worried cos apparently we're NOT meant to eat shellfish!!! Grrrrrr

So I'm annoyed with myself, with the chef, and with our friend for not remembering to cater for me lol. I feel ok so far (touch wood), should I tell my mw or GP or just hope it was ok? I mean, I'll know if I get sick....right?
