Can i eat tuna during pregnancy?

Tuna definitely contains more mercury than other fish, so you must be very cautious. It's highly recommended to consult your gynecologist to see how much, if any, is safe for you based on your health.

I loved tuna sandwiches when I was pregnant! My doc told me canned 'light' tuna is safe because it has less mercury than albacore or tuna steaks. Just limit it to small amounts and make sure it's fresh.

I know how exhausting it is to constantly worry about what is safe to eat during pregnancy. It made me so anxious. Just know that a little bit of canned light tuna is okay, so don't feel guilty if you had some.

Craving a tuna salad? You can absolutely satisfy that craving, just stick to canned light tuna and don't overdo it. Avoid tuna steaks entirely for now since they have way higher mercury levels. Enjoy your sandwich!

My wife craved tuna pasta at midnight and I had to spend an hour googling mercury levels. Basically, canned light tuna is fine in small amounts, just don't make it a daily thing. Save your energy for the sleepless nights ahead!
