Panicking a little over fish

kamedio · April 2014

We were on vacation last week and while out for dinner I ordered swordfish. Did it without realizing that it was on my "no fish list" and now I'm kind of freaking out a little. I had a smaller portion and just one time so I assume it's ok ( I have an appointment this Thursday so I'll bring it up then) but just need some piece of mind. I'm just being crazy and freaking out for nothing right?

I'm sure it's fine.

Just stop eating fish for a while, mercury probably needs to accumulate in your body before it causes a problem, just make sure to ask your doctor about it.

it's fine

all the recs say if you eat a fish high in mercury just don't have any more fish that week

You're fine. If your concerned but still want to eat fish, eat tilapia. It's the only fish that is truly considered "safe" for pregnancy

I agree with everyone else. The issue with those types of fish is mercury amounts. As long as you dont eat any other not safe fish anytime soon the mercury levels in your body should be fine

Thanks ladies. Appreciate the feedback and probably steering clear of fish for a while (not because of this!).

Says who? Any fish is ok for pregnancy (in moderation).

Yeah, no. This isn't true.

I'm staying away from it because I personally don't enjoy cooking/smell of it. We were on vacation and it was fresh that's why I ordered it, inadvertently.
