Pregnant Woman & Fish

When I was pregnant with Missy Moo, the pre-natal classes had advised us not to take any raw fish .. but that does not mean that you cannot eat fish.  Just the raw ones.  Most pregnant women are afraid to eat fish because of mercury.  It is said that the high levels of mercury can cause neurological damange in fetuses.  But fish is important for moms and babies; as it promotes healthy brain development and reduces risk for cardiovascular disease.  And there is plenty of low mercury fish in the sea.  It is therefore safe to say that pregnant woman can eat fish such as salmon, sole and rainbow trout.  So pregnant women out there.. go right ahead and eat as much as you can.  I wished i had eaten more .. when i was pregnant.
