It depends on the mercury content.... my last doctor put it this way for me... the larger the fish is, the higher the mercury... since it has lived longer.. bottom feeders also tend to have higher concentrations of mercury too (lobster,shrimp, catfish, etc.) If your 38 weeks... you should just wait it out another few weeks to be on the safe side
