A member asked:
Is it safe for my girlfriend to eat new england clam chowder while she is pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Clams are considered to be relatively pollutant-free and they are a good source of nutrition so clam-chowder would be fine to eat during pregnancy. Large predatory fish such as shark, swordfish and mackerel contain high levels of mercury and should be avoided during pregnancy. If she likes sea-food, she should do a google search and become familiar with the recommendations for seafood.
