Hey,
Hey,
Very few women eat tuna in such amounts that could harm unborn baby. FDA recommends two six-ounce cans of tuna weekly, if tuna is the only fish they eat. Or one tuna can, if they eat some other fish that contains mercury. I hope this won¡¦t be a problem to cope with¡K
It is very healthy for pregnant women to eat fish, but then again not too much fish, especially those fish that contain high levels of mercury. Tuna is actually not in a risk group; FDA advised pregnant women and those who could become pregnant not to eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish (golden or white snapper). They didn¡¦t ¡§forbid¡¨ tuna¡K
Happy pregnancy!!!

Iam writing this on June 12 2006 and althought I dont know to much about eating tuna BUT I missed a tv show the other night but they said they now have found out that it is unsafe to eat tuna when pregnant. This is what I found.....
(WebMD) Recommendations published in the magazine Consumer Reports this week urge women to avoid eating any canned tuna while pregnant because of uncertainties about the risk of mercury contamination to developing fetuses.
The recommendations are stricter than the federal government's advice issued two years ago. Then, the FDA advised women and young children to limit — but not avoid — consumption of canned tuna because of contamination.
But the magazine's experts say women should avoid the popular item altogether because of FDA data showing that some canned tuna may have higher mercury levels than once thought.
"What we did is take a closer look at the data," says Urvashi Rangan, Ph.D., a toxicologist and a senior scientist at Consumer Reports. |

i ate nothing but tuna for two weeks straight before i knew i was pregnant, in fact that's part of what made me decide to have a pregnancy test because we had gotten to the point we had stopped trying.
happy surprise for us :0)

I'm 8 months pregnant && all I've craved this whole pregnancy is tuna -- that's how I knew I was pregnant in the first place. I wanted Tuna && grape juice. I love both, but not together. Anyways, my mother is in the medical field && she said that a little amount isn't harmful to the baby. |
