Seafood is important in pregnancy due to the Omega 3 fatty acids. The american college of obstetrics and gynecology recommends limiting intake to 12oz a week and 6oz if its tuna. Stay away from larger fish such as swordfish and tilefish since they contain a lot of mercury

You can have seafood lol avoid high mercury fish, otherwise you're fine. Up to 3 times a week, no problem at all.
