Yes totally. It's actually safe to eat tuna in pregnancy as long as it's only every once and a while.

 

[kathsps]

Yes, they say limit it to about once a week.

 

[mommy_2_liam]

Yes...you can now safely eat tuna twice a week.

 

[Kelsey G]

Yeah for sure

My ob/gyn told me when I was pregnant with my first child that one can (approx. 3.5 oz.) of tuna per week is safe. The concern with tuna is the mercury level. Well, OF COURSE I craved tuna, lol, and I'd eat at least 2 tuna melts per week (and this was at a little rinky dink coney restaurant in Detroit, so the sandwiches were HUGE. My son is just fine.

I'm not condoning eating large quantities of foods that *may* be dangerous for you...just saying you can eat it, but in moderation.
