i wouldn't be worried, fish is defentally ok. somtimes people go little too crazy about what they tell you can't eat.  the real list is actually quit small.  I think i can remember most of them, you are supposed to stay way from raw eggs, soft cheeses, smorgest boards, certain types of tuna, caffine, and reheated foods.  I think that was about it, i still ate reheated food i just made sure that it was heated really well and i still ate at smorgestboards.  If you are really still worried talk about it to your doctor at your next appointment.  Oh i forgot booze.

Well they say not to eat tuna because they are high in mercury.  Are you eating tuna from a can?  I ask this because tuna from a can is baby tuna and they are not likely to have mercury because they are babies.  Just don't eat tuna everyday and you will be OK.  My sister read that the little fish bones are really good when you are pregnant to chomp on those LOL, if you can.

Hi there,  It is okay to eat fish whilst you are pregnant but not to much and not all kinds due to the high mercury levels.
Below is a really do website about eating fish and it also has links for other foods which are not to sure about.
There is a download wallet size card with all of the fish do's and don'ts so the information is always handy. I alway had a copy in my wallet.

Hi
All I know because I was not as well informed with my teenagers is I ate everything that they told me not to eat with Jalan
With Megan I lived on seafood and crab and prawn rolls and cherry tomatoes...for some reason they were all i could hold down......
She is allergic to prawns now but we think that is a family thing as her grandfather on her dads side has a severe seafood allergy....
With my son i ate everything....
With new technology they are finding more and more stuff we shouldn't eat when pregnant etc.....
Makes me wonder how we all survived into adults hey
Don't stress
Luv Deb

Bad bacteria sometimes breeds on food. Some fish if eaten cold or reheated, cold chicken is another bad one, some say chicken in general. Its called listeria or some thing like that. they can cause you to miscarry, not harm the baby. ask your doctor. he/she should have told you about those things in the first place. don't stress. i ate fish but i just was very dodgy on chicken . pate is another supposed no no.

forget about the fish thing mate, of course anything in excess is never good for you or the baby, but when i was preg with my boys i absolutely craved fish no end. my last one was the worst. i could eat fish til the cows came home. and my son turned out fine.

they say you need fish while youre pregnant for the extra zinc which is what makes babies brains healthy.

I ate all the things i wasn't suppose to eat while pregnant with my daughter, and she's just as healthy as the next child. Don't have to worry about anything, as long as you don't eat too much of it. If you're craving for something you're not suppose to eat, then just eat it anyways, i did. I wasn't going to deprive my child of food's that i was craving.
