how much fish can a pregnant woman have?

Q: how often can i at 7 months eat tilapia and catfish once a week once a month?

A: It depends on the sorts of fish. My doctor gave me a list of fish that are good (salmon, cod) and fish to avoid (tuna, swordfish, shark, bass snapper, mackrel)She said that having the good fish 1-2 times a week (about 12 ounces worth) is good for the baby’s neurological development and can also decrease my chances of post-partum depression.I don’t know about tilapia, but I do know that catfish has fairly low mercury levels– higher than salmon but lower than cod. I think that it would be safe. Of course ask your doctor to be sure.
