A member asked:
Is it safe to eat salmon during pregnancy? and if so what do salmon contain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Salmon is an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids, which are good for fetal brain and heart development. In general we do advise women to be careful about their fish consumption because of concerns for mercury ingestion.
