yes fish sticks should be safe butas always you should read the contents on the packaging too much mercury is not good for a pregnant woman. just make sure you don't eat it everyday or anything. once a week should be fine. hope this helps

Talk to both your doctor and the nutritionist assigned for your pregnancy. So much of the world's fish is now contaminated with mercury that fish may be out entirely until after the baby is born. There may be something you can eat, but make sure that they are sure of what they tell you is OK. It will be a tightrope to make sure you only get good fish. Mercury is about the most damaging thing you could eat for your baby.

Probably not good because fish sticks are processed, which means they need preservative in them, usually Sodium Nitrate is in the preservatives, it has been shown to cause cancer in some children. Nothing with preservative should be eaten while pregnant.

You should be able too, but do not eat them every day. All fish contain mercury. If they are fresh fish that you caught yourself in a lake, check with the DNR to see how much you can consume.

There is no medical reason why, but while you are pregnant, it is best to eat only fresh, natural and organic foods. Also, drink distilled water.

Of course! Protein is good for you. And fish is lower in saturated fat than other meats.
