Is my baby going to be okay?!!

[Lauren_victoria]

I'm 26 weeks and I just ate amberjack fish and after I ate 2 pieces of it my sister tells me some type of fish isn't safe during pregnancy so I looked it up and amberjack is NOT safe to eat during pregnancy because it's a predator fish and it has high levels of mercury. So I'm freaking out thinking it's going to kill my baby!

You have to be eating fish everyday to have a problem from mercury

[thenewmrs_b]

Honestly mercury levels would not have immediate effects as far as I know... I are some fish known for high mercury before I knew I was pg and my Dr assured me it was OK that it just shouldn't happen often... Call your Dr to check so you can not feel so stressed but I'd say you are ok

[Lauren_victoria]

I see my doctor tomorrow morning. I don't have no way of asking my doctor until then..

[rossamy23]

If your that worried hun speak to a midwife or doctor xx

[Lauren_victoria]

I'm trying not to. I just really hope I didn't harm my baby in any way.

As long as they dont get severe then dont stress...stress ain't GOOD at all

[Lauren_victoria]

Yeah I am having some cramps but I'm not sure if it's just from me stressing and worrying about it or if i should worry..

[cecepretty]

I think u are ok ...u only ate 2 so it should b fine...as long as u don't eat plates and plates of that fish u kno...and your not having ne sudden cramps are you?

[elvendork]

you will be fine - just don't eat it everyday. eating it once really isn't a problem. It has lots of Omega 3 too, which is really good for the baby
