This is my second child but I forget most of the things… The only one I remember is no caffeine and no river or pond fish. So if you could find me a website with a list of do’s and don’ts of eating while pregnant then that’d be great… I tried to look and I can’t find anything.

A: FDA and EPA revised its advisories on mercury in fish for pregnant women and young children. Generally they are advised to eat no more than 2 meals of low-mercury fish per week – one can of light tuna or half a tuna steak is considered one meal. FDA recommends to limit albacore white tuna to one meal per week as it is higher in mercury. So check the labels when purchasing canned tuna.
