Can pregnant women eat cod fish?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The concern with eating fish has to do with exposure to mercury. Two servings of cod fish a week is considered safe. This brochure from the NY City health department reviews the FDA guidelines: http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/edp/mercury_brochure.pdf
