Doctor, I am 5 months pregnant women. I have query about consuming fish during pregnancy. I had King fish about 5 to 6 times in last 5 months. Is it safe to consume king fish during pregnancy or not? As I have already consumed it, it won t be harmful to my baby na?
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. It is not unhealthy to consume fish during pregnancy, as it is a good source of protein. However, the fish should be fresh or frozen after catch, and thoroughly cooked.  Canned fish, like tuna, may contain mercury and should be kept to a maximum of 2 cans per week. There is no evidence that King fish is in any way harmful to pregnancy. So you do not need to worry about the fish you already consumed. I hope this adequately answered your question and best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy,
