I love fish and my doctor said once a week was probably ok, but what do you think?

I grew up in a fishing town in Alaska and I think every women up there ate fish (a lot) while they were pregnant!! And I've never heard of any problems from it. EAT ON!!!! Just so you know I was watching a pregnancy channel that said to try and not eat the canned WHITE albacore tune (the more expensive one) while you are pregnant. Only because I guess it is one of the biggest carriers of mercury. But there has been nothing linked to it. Hope this helps and Congrats!!

i think some is ok but like tuna and some of thoes other have such high levels of mercury in it, it will make you and your baby very sick

you can eat canned tuna but not shark, tilefish, or mackerel, which have high levels of mercury.
