I would stay away from these until you speak with your doc..I know that many types of fish are not safe when you are pregnant..I would certainly ask your doc and see if he/she has some sort of list as to what foods to avoid during pregnancy..Some docs have these and it may help you so that you don;t have to worry about everything that you eat being safe for your baby.

I would also ask because I know you aren't allowed to eat tinned muscles and sardines are in the same sort of catagory. Always pays to ask a professional when you are dealing with something that could potentially seriously harm your baby.

It might pay to avoid it in case of listeria or heavy metal poisoning (unless you can check the source of the fish).

its really only the HIGH risk food poisioning stuff that you need to worry about. if you buy tinned ones they should be ok. but freash from the sea is the best.

just to note, that some fish you should only eat once every 2-4 weeks or so because of the high mercury content, like swordfish, mackeral and shark. Fish like salmon, trout, sardines are fine to eat, and so are squid and prawns, just make sure it's cooked well.

People shouldn't eat certain fish while pregnant but I feel sardines which are full of calcium are fine.

I haven't seen it on any no no foods list, so should be safe.  They are actually very high in calcium, so go for it!  Just don't do what one lady I knew did.  she smothered hers in chocolate fudge sauce!!!!!!
