Albacore tuna/mercury exposure

Hi all,

I’m currently in my first trimester and before finding out I was pregnant. I was eating a lot of albacore tuna maybe around two times a week I just found out that albacore tuna is actually not good during pregnancy due to the high levels of mercury. I am of course worried because mercury can stay in your system for a very long time so I’m not sure how much mercury has accumulated overtime. I have stopped eating tuna but I’m just wondering if anyone here has albacore tuna and everything turned out ok. Any advice is much appreciated.

2 times a week is not that much IMO. You can always ask your doc if you’re worried but I don’t think there’s any reason to. It’s not like You can go back & change it.
