do/did you eat tuna?

ediep wrote: When I was preg with Jason I was so ultra careful about what I ate and drank. I maybe ate tuna 2-3 times during the entire pregnancy. I didn't really miss it.

Now, i am realy wanting to order a tuna sub occasionally....maybe once a week.

Do you eat tuna that often?

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I did with Matt...I craved it constantly. This time I have probably had it 5 times.

3_call_me_mama replied: It's fairly safe especially if you are ordering from a place liek subway (cause they dont' use solid white albacore they use chunk light tuna). The light tuna has less mercury than the albacore. Also in moderation it is ok. So for one sub a week or so you should be ok. Just watch teh salt they add cause that could potentially be worse thanthe tuna! LOL

I didn't eat much of it with cameron but ate a fair amt with Kathleen and some this time.

Kaitlin'smom replied: I did before I knew but even after I found out I still ate it on occasion.

kimberley replied: i did very occasionally during pg and in small amounts. normally, i wont eat more than a can a week.

MyLuvBugs replied: I can't I'm allergic.

A&A'smommy replied: I ate it a lot but I didn't know you weren't suppose to and alyssa is fine

Cece00 replied: Maybe once every 2 wks...I have to been in the mood for it.

ilovemybaby replied: Yep I ate it every week.

gr33n3y3z replied: I ate it alot but it was always fresh never out of a can
bc when you have fresh you soak it in salt and cut all the red dark meat out
thats where the smell and strong taste is

PrairieMom replied: When I was PG with The Boy it was the only meat I could stomach to eat. I ate it about once a week. This time I eat it a few times a month. I eat the canned kind.

luvbug00 replied: I think i was ultra carful and did not eat it .. but I wasn't it's hudgest fan anyway..

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: On occasion, I ate it. I think I remember my midwife saying that once a week or less was fine.

mommymonster replied: I did and I still love to eat it!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I ate it maybe once a month last time. There was a deli by my work that made the best tuna sandwiches on chibatta bread! But with this PG, I haven't had a craving for it at all, so I haven't had it even once.

Heather77 replied: Yes!! I crave tuna sandwiches with al of my pregnancies.... I love it!

Brias3 replied: I did try to avoid it due to the mercury, as I did other specific fish, but I did end up having it a few times over the course of each pregnancy.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: When I was pregnant with Emily I would eat tuna all the time. I craved it. And now she just loves it!

CantWait replied: I still ate tuna, once a week isn't going to harm the baby. I ate red meat also, med rare. I also ate packaged lunch meats, and the occasional pop. I ate healthy for the most part, but yes I did splurge once in awhile on the things that most would say not to eat.

3xsthefun replied: I ate some about 2 times a month when I was pregnant with both of the girls.

ashtonsmama replied: I'm bad...I eat it ALL THE TIME. Maybe 2-3 times a week sometimes, more when I'm not PG. But I switched to Tongol tuna, it's supposed to have lower mercury levels, and be better for you...so hopefully I'll be ok? And not harming this baby?

giffmom replied: A little off of topic but I thought that I would add this that while you are breast feeding any type of fish is good for the baby it promotes good brian and eye development
