Fish during pregnancy

Dolphin527

Can it be really dangerous?! I had Talapia about 2 days ago, and then we had crab tonight with our Easter dinner ham, potatoes, crab, green beans, etc. We have our 13wk us this week and I always get super paranoid a few days before that something's wrong with baby!

I love fish/seafood so when I asked my Dr. she just said to give up tuna all together to out weigh all the other fish I love! Before pregnant I had salmon on my salad every day through the week, now I do maybe twice a week and sometimes another fish dinne

I try to eat more fresh water fish during pg as they have lower mercury concentrations.

The only ones to avoid are shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish, because they are high in mercury.nbsp;</div

I eat low mercury fish twice a week. Tilapia, salmon and shrimp are my go tos .

The only food that seems to satisfy this LO is FISH!!. I feel like a new woman when I eat fish; it's so weird and oh so different than my last pregnancy.  I had some haddock for lunch on Friday and baked Scallops on Saturday.  All this fish talk

As other have said try to avoid the larger fish because of the mercury content.  Shellfish is okay.  No more than 12oz a week.

I eat seafood just as much pregnant as not pregnant.  You just want to watch for eating high mercury items like Tuna and stuff. 

Just remember, all things in moderation.
