Waiting for ob appt what fish is safe to eat during pregnancy (spec early pregnancy 4wks)? if the list of unsafe fish is shorter that would work too
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fish: Typically it's the deep, cold water fish that are higher in mercury. It would be easy to find a list online of fish that are high in mercury that you should avoid. I also tell my patients to avoid sushi.
