Chicken, mutton, fish and prawns are all safe to eat in pregnancy as long as they're fresh and cooked all the way through. The real risk isn't the type of meat. It's how well it's cooked, since undercooked or raw meat, fish or shellfish can carry infections that are more serious during pregnancy.

Next Steps

Cook everything until there's no pink left and the juices run clear. Avoid raw or smoked fish, sushi, and seafood that's been sitting out. Limit high-mercury fish like king fish or shark to occasional servings.

Health Tips

See your obstetrician if you get fever, vomiting or stomach pain after eating, since that can signal food poisoning that needs quick attention in pregnancy.
