Eating tuna occasionally during pregnancy?

Question

Like once a week?

Answer

Canned tuna in moderation is perfectly fine. You should really ask your doctor though - some women on here are misinformed and you're going to get all kinds of answers.

Answer

I craved tuna when I was pregnant and my son is perfectly fine lol

Answer

Lol, oops. I ate tuna throughout my whole pregnant 😂 I didn't know it was "bad". I usually ignored what people said unless it came from my doctor. They'll let you know what not to eat.

Answer

Canned tuna is fine once a week, just make sure that you are taking it into consideration and not eating much other seafoods during that week. I believe it is the American pregnancy association website that has a chart of how much and what seafood's are safe to eat during pregnancy.

Answer

Confirm with your OB, but in general fish is fine (they just say stay away from larger fish due to mercury, and raw due to contamination/bacteria).  Most commercial tuna isn't bad.

Answer

I just had my first Dr appointment today he said occasionally is perfectly fine. He said just to keep all seafood serving to 2-3/week which includes canned tuna

Answer

Tuna is very high in mercury....so it's very bad
