Canned Tuna

Does anyone eat canned tuna while pregnant? I've seen some reports online to limit your intake and others say to avoid completely. My friend brought in tuna salad for lunch for me and it sounds delicious but not too sure on whether I should eat it or not.

Re: Canned Tuna

  • My dr told me not to eat like 3 cans every day or anything, but if I want a tuna sandwich, eat one.

  • No more than once a week is what my doctor said.

  • My MW told me that the cheap stuff is fine and to eat as much as you want, it is good for you. She said the more expensive "white tuna" can have a much higher mercury level, and should only be eaten in limited amounts.

  • I am eating a tuna melt now. Just don't eat it too often.

  • I limit my intake to two times a week. If you aren't eating it everyday I say go ahead! The concern is mercury levels.

  • I eat tuna. I just count it as one of my servings of fish for the week.

    It is recommended to consume the chunk light variety during pregnancy, rather than the solid white variety.

  • I was told it was because of risk of autism.  Don't know why and never heard of it before the other day when a friend of mine told me about it.
