Question 1

what fish can i eat when pregnant if any?

Accepted Answer

Fish is Great!: Fish is a great option when you're pregnant. Raw or undercooked meat of any kind such is not recommended however, due to the potential for parisitic and roundworm infections. I do not even suggest sushi during pregnancy despite the quality of the meat of many sushi restaurants.

Question 2

is it ok to eat porgy fish while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If you're pregnant, you're probably aware of the risk of eating fish high in mercury. But mercury isn't the only contaminant that can cause problems to your baby. Polychlorinated biphenyls, parasites and other toxins can also make you or your baby sick. Porgy fish, also known as sea bream, can contain several types of contaminants but has not been shown to have high mercury. I vote, avoid porgy.

cites several silver fishes (mackeral, sardines) as especially good. Fish that eat fish (they are BIG and LONG LIVED) could have the most mercury accumulate.

Fish and pregnancy: Fish to avoid during pregnancy:
swordfish
 shark

the bigger and older the fish, the more mercury it might have.

Question 5

Limit raw Fish: Pregnant women and most others should limit the ingestion of raw meats especially raw fish. Raw shellfish may cause hepatitis. Raw fish such as herring may cause parisitic or roundworm infestations.

Question 6

what not to eat when you are pregnant beside fish?

Accepted Answer

No RAW meat/fish: Besides raw meat/fish (n minimize processed meats/cold-cuts), you should be eating a healthy, well balanced diet, and regular exercises just like everyone else should. You may need a bit more iron/calcium/folic acid which are provided in your prenatal vitamins. Only eat more to gain about 25-30lbs total during pregnancy. Consult doc or nutritionist if needed. Congrats on the pregnancy. Good luck.
