So the doctor says fish isn't great to eat because of mercury so is it safe to eat seafood? Like my mom made crab cakes and I love crab can I eat them or will I put my baby in danger?

Fish is good cuz of the omega 3. Some fish does have mercury like mackrel. Like the ladies said, get a list from google

If your choosing fish wild caught is best. It has less mercury

They actually did a study and it showed small amounts of fish is needed during pregnancy... helps brain growth. Just watch for the high mercury fish.

just make sure it is fully cooked and not raw for 1 and try not to have to much of it.   Its not supposed to be bad for you or baby but too much of it is.  Sushi is a No No because it isn't cooked.  but that was about it when i asked my Dr

Not all fish have a high level of mercury.  If your doc didn't give you a list, Google it and it will say what fish to absolutely avoid and which is okay and couple times a week.  It's not good to just avoid all fish because they are so rich in nutrients that are also good for baby. I got a little boom from my doc that listed all the restrictions

Fish is fine and is actually good for you and baby in moderation, ypu just want to stay away from certain fish google it I eat fish about 1-2 times a week the omega-3 fayty acids are good for babies development.

It's ok to eat shellfish or any fish but only in very low moderation. As long as you can control yourself at tree table there shouldn't be a problem. I ate fish and shellfish with my daughter and she was perfectly healthy. I am currently 35+3 with a boy and he is doing wonderful. He is measuring 2 weeks ahead. :-) do have yourself a crab cake girl and enjoy it!! :-)
