Tuna Fish

I want a tuna sandwich with pickles so bad but when i was pregnant with my son the nurse told i cant or a shouldn't have to much. I havn't asked my new OB but what do you ladies think? Do you think it would be okay if a i had one or two sandwiched i wanted it for days? Thanks

Your allowed a certain amount. My doctor told me no more then 1 serving a week.

id do it, but i guess im a 'rebel' when it comes to being healthy and doing the right things while pregnant.

I would think its o.k., I ate a whole can with pickles, relish, and bell peppers and I felt fine, I guess u just can't eat it too much

All tuna has mercury naturally but some has more then others. The larger variety of tuna that eats other tuna has high amounts.

someone told me that eating fish... (careful of how much mercury) can help with give more omega 3 (i think thats what it is) to the body... and that helps with brain developement in the fetus.... i guess it will help them become smarter... i dunno but ill look it up..

My drwould tell me it would be ok as long as I limited it to i-dont-remember-how-many oz a day but then she would throw in a "But no one has ever died from NOT eating tuna and it's always better to play it safe"   Ha, so yea she would fill me with guilt and in the end I went my whole pregnancy depriving myself of tuna  

i found this and it tells you about fish and stuff... i think.... im not a good researcher

It does. There's also omega 3 vitamins you can take towards the end of your pregnancy if you dont want to eat fish or just dont like it.
