Hi All,
One of my neighbors recently advised me to have fish during my pregnancy. She says that this will make my baby smarter and more intelligent!!
Is it true??
I am not sure if eating fish can make the baby smarter. But yes one should eat fish during pregnancy as its good for both the mom and the baby.
Though one thing should be taken care of, avoid fishes which have high mercury content. It will be better if you consult the doctor and find out exactly which fishes you should avoid,
omega-3 fatty acid is considered to be very healthy for baby's development.
fish with high mercury is not good for either baby or the mother.
different types of fish have different amount of mercury contents. i never understood the reason. After all why would certain fish will have more mercury. i believe those fish are not eating mercury selectively since they like the taste of it.
