I'm 5 weeks pregnant and ate 3 servings of asian sea bass in the past 2 days. didn't know it was high in mercury. i'm very worried. should i be?

Mercury in tile fish: No worries. No problem with eating a few even with mercury but would check with your local OB as I don't know the Hg levels over there. I would be more worried about the mercury coming from coal burning sources there. And cement plants.
