Ladies,
If someone has more current info on this. I must admit, this is my third pregnancy and I've gotten so terribly lazy this time about "checking things out" - I read all available references with my first pregnancy and still felt fairly current with my second. I was under the impression (and have to admit, wasn't even THINKING that much about) tuna sandwich consumption of two per week = fine. I was told by a health-conscious friend that mercury levels are higher than even thought a couple years ago and one sandwich per month should be my target. Good grief. I feel terrible. I take my boys to a local diner once a week - our special outing - and always get the tuna melt! It's the only thing on the menu that always sounds good. I feel so guilty that I'm not "doing things right" this time around. I already goofed by not realizing that Afrin spray use was a no-no (I have had 3 sinus infections during this pg and I'm only 12 weeks along!) Guilt guilt guilt. Always there!
Thank you!
