I know this because I already  confirmed  with my doc and he actually  said you should have a serving once a week because  the nutrients  from this fish helps the baby as well .

You should ask your doctor but I think its safe. My doctor told me to stay away from larger ocean dwelling fish like tuna and shark. I know for a fact that salmon is okay and most restaurants serve it.
