The question often comes up, whether or not it is okay to eat fish. The issue is that there are excessive amounts of mercury in certain types of fish, including tuna fish. The best advice is that someone consume about 12 ounces a week, which is essentially two servings of fish.
There is evidence recently that increased omega three intake can improve brain and eye development in your baby especially if taken during the second and third trimester. In order to increase the amount of omega three without getting excessive amounts of mercury often supplements are taken in the form of fish oil that's purified so the mercury has been removed. A good goal is to get a thousand to two thousand milligrams of omega three a day.
