I am 7 weeks into my first pregnancy. I love eating fish and prawns and cannot do without them at least once a week. Recently my friend told me that sea food is bad during pregnancy. I am worried that this will cause a problem with my baby.

Hold on. I ate prawns right through my pregnancy and have had no problem at all. You may want to ask your doctor what kind of fish you can eat because some of them can have mercury which affects your baby's growth.
