How many of you moms eat tuna while pregnant? I was told to stay clear away from it because of…

I eat it like every once in awhile, I use to eat it once a week.

Tuna is fine. It's in raw tuna, the Mercury. That's not safe. Like sushi cuisine. But canned tuna is perfectly fine and a good source of protein in pregnancy.

you can eat it but just not alot like every meal but its totally safe to eat and good for you yoo

I eat about a can every week or two.

Don't get a flu shot then! It blows my mind that doctors tell you to not eat certain fish to avoid Mercury, but hey, come get an unnecessary flu shot that has a low probability of it actually working... and it has Mercury that we will inject directly into your bloodstream, leaving no fighting chance for your body to attempt to filter it out first. Ugh. Sorry, lol.

I really think the flu shot is necessary tho especially with fall babies. There's a reason they have you get them /: there are certain things I believe doctors don't actually know best on but I would hate myself if I didn't give my baby flu immunity and a newborn gets the flu they could easily die. I would say definitely think about that

Not trying to diss @mamalamadingdong or anything. I get why some people don't but. Yeah. I just wanna clarify I'm not trying to be rude. Just concerns me so I can't not say something y'know. Definitely do some research

I was told tuna salmon and tilapia are pregnancy safe fish I have gall stones so I can't eat beef pork or chicken it's to hard for my body to digest and they fish is how I get my protein and Madison lovessss salmon:)

Thanks everyone !

@morgans_mommie, agree to disagree. I can understand arguments for every other vaccine... except for the flu vax. There is only a 15-18% efficacy rate, due to the fact that it is nearly impossible to guess what strain will erupt each year. This year, they are claiming it is 23%, but that's a load of horse crap either way. It contains Mercury directly injected into your bloodstream with no way to filter it out. I'm sorry, but I'd rather take the odds of catching a flu (which are less likely since I work hard to boost my immune system naturally) than the sure fact of having thimerosal in my body. Breastfeeding is the best medicine for your baby, no flu vaccine could ever compare. I didn't feel like you were "dissing" me... I've done my homework and have studied this for years. You should really do some research!

@mamalamadingdong, some people just think I'm coming at them when I'm really not. That's all. Thank you for not being a bitch about it lol I understand, you just have to always do what you think is best for your child.

I didn't think it sounded like you were coming at me at all! No worries! I just think it sounds like you have been uniformed/ misinformed and have not taken time to really understand the complexities of the flu vaccine. The question to ask yourself when you discuss these types of issues is this: where did you get your information? Is it credible and backed by any hard data or are you just wanting to sound like you have an expert opinion because it's what you have heard here and there through others? There will ALWAYS be those in disagreement, so if you want to be taken seriously in any debate, make sure your statements has facts and not just opinions.

@morgans_mommie, ^

Uninformed* not "uniformed" haha

You can actually request vaccines without thermasol which is what contains the Mercury. They started offering it without the preservatives for that very reason!
