When you’re pregnant, you want to do
everything that’s in the best interest for your baby. That includes
eliminating the following items from your plate.
Mercury
The most common thing we hear to avoid during pregnancy is seafood
high in mercury. Too much mercury could harm your baby’s developing
nervous system. Foods to avoid include: swordfish, shark, king mackerel
and tile fish. Other fish that would be lower in mercury include;
shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, Pollock and catfish. The
recommendation for serving size of these fish is 12oz per week. If
choosing albacore tuna (bigger fish=more mercury) limit your intake to
6oz per week.
