I agree supazo. I think if you worry TOO much about food, you will just stress yourself out. Fresh stuff is pretty much always fine!

Geez I even had some christmas ham today! My nana prepared and cooked it yesterday, so I feel its fine(I wouldnt go near deli ham though!).]]> Thu, 25 Dec 2008 18:50:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23315&PID=573574&title=fish-seafood#573574 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23315&PID=573509&title=fish-seafood#573509 Author: mamazozo

ive eaten tuna the whole way through my pregnancy and ive also treated myself to the occasional serving of scallops or mussles, fresh of course. I dont think you should be too hard on yourself, if their fresh and you want some just have a few im sure it wont hurt!]]> Wed, 24 Dec 2008 23:13:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23315&PID=573509&title=fish-seafood#573509 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23315&PID=573419&title=fish-seafood#573419 Author: lilfatty

The main problem with fish & shellfish comes from the amount of mercury in the fish. The bigger the fish, more deep sea it is means the more mercury it has (because they eat the smaller things and thus get a higher build of mercury from swimming around on their own plus that accumulated by the smaller ones).

The average suggestion is that it's safe to have something like Tuna, Halibut or Snapper once a week but not more often then that. You can have up to 2 serves a week of shellfish (prawns, scallops etc), salmon, cod, catfish and that sort of thing.

Don't eat anything from Asia as they have huge levels of mercury - only eat NZ seafood really, it's your safest bet across the board.

Fresh water is the safest bet.

And take it from someone that has been dealing with Mercury poisoning for a few years, it's not something you want to dismiss as trivial, it really sucks!]]> Wed, 24 Dec 2008 17:09:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23315&PID=573369&title=fish-seafood#573369 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23315&PID=573367&title=fish-seafood#573367 Author: Shezamumof3

Fresh fish is fine, but I dont think your meant to eat any kind of shellfish...]]> Wed, 24 Dec 2008 17:04:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23315&PID=573367&title=fish-seafood#573367 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23315&PID=573364&title=fish-seafood#573364 Author: Brenna

I can't remember whats ok to eat. If fish is caught fresh can I eat it? What about scallops? I'm up on holiday at my parents and they've just come back from the boat with fish and scallops - yum!
