Safe or not?

Question

So right now I'm 10 weeks almost 11 weeks pregnant. I've been losing weight constantly cause of nausea and loss of appetite. The only thing I really really want to eat is tuna fish. Unfortunately I've read that it is high in mercury and dangerous to eat while pregnant. I've also read some articles that said some of them are safe to eat. My question is should I satisfy my craving and eat it or not take the risk at all? This is my first btw. TIA

Answer

My doctor said as long as it's not albacore tuna I could eat a can or two a week. I lost ten pounds in my first trimester and I learned that if I'm craving something then just eat it! Eating it better than not!

Answer

I've always heard a can or 2 of tuna a week is fine. I eat fish probably once a week, usually tuna or salmon.

Answer

You can have it in moderation, I've been told. It's more like shark and swordfish that are high in mercury that we can't have at all.

Answer

Eat some! Just don't live off only tuna fish.

Answer

I've eaten some, but only a couple times in my pregnancy. I'm now 19 weeks.

Answer

I wouldn't but that's just me. I'm sure if you just ate it once you'd be perfectly fine but if you eat it once it starts to become okay. I just try to steer clear of anything that has been known to be dangerous even if some say it's not.

Answer

Your baby is your priority now. Don't eat tuna. Every brand has different amounts of mercury and there's no way of knowing those amounts exactly. Try eating sardines instead. The canned ones in olive oil. They are very healthy for both you and baby!
