Has anyone else been craving fish? This is my 3rd pregnancy & I work as a nurse for an ob/gyn so I know all about what to eat and not to eater but my body is craving fish all the time. I never had cravings like these with my other two which are girls. Even though my blood work came back neg im wondering if there is something else going on?

    I haven't had any cravings but if you must eat fish, stick to the smaller species (sardines, cod, etc) because they have less mercury than the big ones like tuna. & limit as much as you can because realistically, no amount of mercury can be considered safe.

    Fish is soooo good for you!! Its prob just what your body needs. Most cravings for good foods are. As long your not eating it 24 7 im sure your fine! Tons of brain food, and great nutrition! Im not a big fish eater but I crave shrimp with my girls! Been eating fish n crab cakes with shrimp like 2 3 times a week! lol Yummy!

    @kmose77 fish is good for you but while your pregnant its suggested that you limit to once a wk and some fish isn't allowed. This is due to the mercury.

    Check out the new foods tab on the update for this app it gives the info you need!

    The recommeded allowance of fish when you are pregnant is 6-8 oz. A week because of mercury levels which is why this craving is killing me! My thought on it is since it is such a persistent craving than maybe there is an underlying issue going on. Your body usually craves what it needs going to see my dr. Tomorrow so I'll let everyone know...thanx :)

    Im craving tuna really bad but u have to watch cause it carrys mercury in it like most other fish n it is really harmful to the baby so I dnt eat any kind of seafood at all just to b on the safe side. Besides my doc even told me no tuna n a list of seafood I couldn't have. Crazy the one thing I want I can't have :/ lol
