not allowed to eat crab while pregnant

Hey moms, I'm feeling really sad right now. For the past two weeks, I've been craving crab, but my mother-in-law won't let me eat even a little bit. My husband always follows her lead, so he's constantly watching over me... I love crab, and I've been avoiding it since I got pregnant. But for some reason, I've been craving it so much in the past two weeks!!! I've been crying a lot and feeling stressed... sometimes I even feel small contractions in my belly. My mother-in-law says that if I eat crab, my child will become hyperactive... Is that true, moms?

your child can feel your emotions mommy so if you are depressed your child is also. so its better you just eat whatever you want (other than alcohol) and be happy instead. plus, what's wrong with babies being hyperactive? would you rather them be listless? and why does your mil and husband care? you're likely the one taking care of bb the most lol. and nothing suggests crab would cause hyperactive children anyways! so just eat your crab, be happy, and in any event your bb is hyperactive, accept him for who he is!
