as you are probably aware the issue with eating certain types of fish when you’re pregnant is mercury. mercury is found in higher levels in certain fish. if a pregnant woman eats too much mercury it could damage the brain and nerves in her developing fetus. but fish itself can be very good for both you and your baby. so the key is to eat the right kind of fish in the right amount. do not eat shark swordfish king mackerel or tilefish as these all have high levels of mercury. plus they're probably not at the top of your list anyway. instead choose fish and seafood that are low in mercury such as shrimp canned light tuna salmon pollock and catfish. you can safely eat up to 12 ounces of this type of fish per week while pregnant.
