Avoid eating fish, especially raw fish during pregnancy. The reason is actually because of the possible mercury contamination in the fish. The EPA actually warns expecting mothers not to consume more than one can of tuna per week because of mercury.

Now the paradox is that you need DHA from fish oils to help the baby's brain develop normally. Fortunately, you can get fish oil as a dietary supplement such as Expecta. We formulated our chewables with DHA specifically because of this issue as well.
