Can't seem to get any good advice from dr google. Is eating fish in pregnancy bad for baby? Has any mom eaten fish throughout their pregnancy? Was baby fine and grew into a healthy child?

Any info will help, thank you

Fish is recommended at least twice a week, just avoid high mercury fish... and don't eat shell fish more then twice a week

I’m 100% sure everything will be fine whether you eat more or less of what is recommended! Honestly!

A 3 oz portion of meat is roughly the size of a deck of cards.

Ok, thanks, I used to eat salmon, then switched to parrot fish. I stopped eating mackerel since being pregnant. Hopefully everything will be ok :)

Fish is good for you just avoid the fish that’s high in mercury. Shark, Marlin, mackerel and I know there are a few more but I can’t remember lol it’s more like the stuff ppl usually don’t eat too much of.

Fish is very good for you, just watch the mercury content, don’t eat to much though i thing it’s 6-12 ounces that they recommend. I ate fish like every week

And it's not every week, would that make a difference?

I know it's healthy because of omega 3s and fish oil, and I know to only eat 6-12 ounces a week. I'm worried because I don't know how much is 6-12 ounces :( I don't have a food scale. I eat parrot fish, a whole one 2-3 times a week, these fish are herbivores with short life, so they should be lower on the mercury scale, but the portion size is what's the concern. It's like half a kg that I would eat a week

If I'm over doing it... I guess I want to hear someone say they did and everything is fine :(

Fish is incredibly healthy for you. Ideally you’d eat 6-12 ounces per week.

Raw is not recommended due to the risk of food poisoning.
