Tinned tuna is not so bad as fresh anyways. But yes, limit it as it still contains mercury. I love tuna also but limit myself to one tin every few weeks now rather than each week as I worry about the mercury levels regardless.

I adore fresh grilled tuna but have not touched it since finding out I was PG and won't eat it till after I have given birth and breastfed I guess.

It has higher levels of mercury. As does swordfish and a few others. Canned and fresh are both supposed to be limited.

It is said to not be problamatic normally but apparently can affect a baby's developing nervous system.

If you've been eating the recommended amount I'd not worry too much.

My mw gave me diet plan and it has.... SWORDFISH on it Also tuna as well... I was told to eat lots of tuna fish by my mw because it has high levels of omega 3 in it which improves the baby's developing brain.

My MW told me not to eat any...I don't like it anyway so that's easy enough but I'm sure a little won't hurt

I limit myself to 1 or 2 portions per week. But I love tuna! I also try and eat a portion of salmon once per week... like someone else said, fish is good for developing brains!

I conceived whilst on holiday in Mauritius and all I ate out there was fish... tuna, swordfish, marlin, all of which are on the strictly NO GO list. Oh well!! I still eat tuna now but just half a tin every few weeks.
