You can eat tuna and salmon - it is high in protein and it is very good for you.
Just don't eat too much, also try getting a cut of fresh tuna and avoid canned tuna.
You can broil or pan fry your tuna with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Then break it up and make your delicious, fresh tuna sandwich.

Yes, tuna is perfectly safe to eat during pregnancy. Until recently there was a debate on to weather or not the mercury that is found in large game fish that pregnant women consumed could be linked to the rise in autism. This theory has been discredited by the FDA. Have your sandwich and enjoy!

You can eat tuna at ANYTIME during the pregnancy. Avoid the albacore stuff, though, it's higher in mercury.
You can have small amounts of tuna! And it's good for the baby as it has Omega 3 fatty acids.

Honey eat all the tuna you want! There are only a couple types of fish you cannot eat because of mercury but tuna is not in that catigory.

Not unless you are allergic to tuna, or seafood, or if the doctor told you not to eat it, or possibly to stay away from salt?
If your OK on these, dig in. The baby knows what it wants.
When i was pregnant i did bananas and tomato soup constantly. Shes fourteen now and still eats bananas like shes a chimp.

You can eat tuna just dont eat more than 2 cans a week as tunafish may contain mercury due to sea pollution.

Nope...I was told when I was pregnant to limit tuna to once a week due to the high mercury content.

Yes you can. Just no more than 12 oz. (2 cans) of chunk light tuna per week.

yes...tuna is safe to eat.
ask your doctor on what fish you need to avoid while pregnant. but I know for sure that tuna is safe b/c I ate it all the time while pregnant.
good luck & congrats!
