Fish?

Question

Honestly, I give up. This is baby #2 for me and I swore to myself I wouldn't Google everything I wanted to eat and I failed. I just want to eat food and not be scared of everything being harmful. I ate Fish tacos, that were delicious, for dinner. It was a white fish some posts said it was Ok to eat others said no. What do you ladies do?

Answer

Check out the book Expecting Better by Emily Oster.  She has a chart on which fish are safe as well as good sections on caffeine, safe pain meds, and the deli meat/listeria thing.  Made me feel a whole lot calmer after reading it

Answer

I ate fish tacos from Atlantic seafood & Steak while I was on vacation.. I think I was 26 maybe 27 weeks. It was absolutely Amazing!! Then someone told me I wasn't suppose to eat certain seafood while pregnant and I freaked out. But I called my OB and he said i was freaking out for nothing. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I found this chart helpful. If the link doesn't work, just Google "pregnancy and fish and FDA". New guidelines for which fish are okay during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and for young kids came out in January. https://www.fda.gov/food/foodborneillnesscontaminants/metals/ucm393070.htm

Answer

I thought white fish was ok? I've been eating it. High mercury fish are the ones to stay away from.

Answer

I had fish twice this week for dinner. As long as it's cooked well and isn't a high mercury fish, I think it's completely fine in moderation!
