Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I am pretty sure Tuna is one of the safe fishes to eat while pregnant. I eat Tuna Salad for breakfast almost everyday.

I am struggling with protein right now.. and I love tuna.. cause I can put lots of sweet relish in it (Mt Olive - Splenda). How much Tuna is safe? I have heard things... I suppose chicken salad would be a better choice.. Does anyone have any good links? - Mommy to: Noah - 10/14/02 - 31 weeker - 3lbs 11 oz Jonah or Isabella - EDD 10/28/04 m/c 7/04 Open RNY 12/3/03 - 47 lbs gone and counting Children are a blessing, and a gift from the Lord. -Psalm 127:3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Tuna fish is DEFINITELY not the safest fish to have in large quantities while pregnant. Due to the heavy metals and other contaminants in waters where the fish dwell, it is suggested that, while pregnant, we have no more than 4 ounces per week.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 From the pamphlet I got from my OB you are allowed 1 can of tuna per week. Man! I'm at that point that I feel like I need to eat ALL the time and this talk is making me crave a tuna fish sandwich, now I need to go eat one. LOL! Axelrod Tuna fish question...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 You can get the special chemical free Tuna at the Whole Foods or Trader Joe Markets. You just have to read the label. It costs a bit more but is worth it if you are worried about that stuff. Chrystal Wife to Jace - together 6 Years! Happy Mommy to - 4 Years Old! New Baby Swenson Due July 28, 2004!
