A mother's diet during pregnancy affects the health of the mother as well as the growth of the baby. Consuming the right types of fish in limited amounts may be beneficial as fish contain nutrients such as protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
However, some large marine fish may contain high levels of mercury. Pregnant women should avoid such fish.
It is best to consume fish thoroughly cooked and take advice from doctors or nutritionists regarding the types of fish available locally.
