It says that its not something you should eat a lot of while pregnant, BUT what if you just want a tuna casserole or something?

Would it be ok to eat?

I've stayed away from tuna. No need to really risk it.

We made tuna casserole with canned chicken. Hardly noticed.

When I was preggo, my doc said no albacore, and only one can a week of the chunk light. Soooo...if you have tuna casserole one night a week and use a whole can of tuna for it, you could technically eat THE WHOLE THING and still be ok ;)

Mercury is bad!!!

I think i just want it because my tapeworm is back!! LOL

Bex(hehe) I LOVE it with the chicken better!! Maybe I will make a chicken pot pie for dinner! Yummy!

DANG YOU TAPEWORM!

Yep the chicken thing was a great idea, I'd never even thought of that :) Thanks for the idea!!

When we use the chicken I throw in peas and other veggies with it and bake it with bread crumbs on the top! Its yummy!

I don't do canned tuna preggo or not. I eat chikin. :hungry

Ive wanted tuna badly sometimes, but I get to paraniod and dont risk it at all. Its not worth it. I can eat tuna in a few months if I REALLY want it. LOL

Its funny because they say we have limited amounts of it, but I was just thinking about tuna casserole LOL If i made it I probably wouldnt eat it.

I feel bad for people who love fish and cant have things like salmon(sp?)

I love tuna, I try to keep it to only one can a week, or one every few weeks. Doc said it was ok as long as I wasn't binging on tuna everyday.

I FEEL BAD FOR MYSELF --- SUSHI IS ANOTHER FOOD GROUP FOR ME NORMALLY

THAT AND RARE, RARE MEAT

:yes

I ate tuna in limited quantities while pregnant.

I ate it while pregnant and was never told not to. ANYTHING in moderation is fine. I'm sure they'd find something wrong with massive amounts of anything during pregnancy. Tuna in moderation IS FINE. My docs told me not more than 1-2 cans per week and I didn't ever eat that much because I don't normally eat a lot of tuna to begin with, but I'm not going to sit and fret over a sandwich sized serving :nutts

too bad you don't live out here -- we could celebrate not being pregnant by a huge sushi feast :D

I ate tuna, no dr ever told me not to. My kids seem to be fine :teehee

When I was first pregnant with Jer I didn't have any idea about the "tuna" thing and that is what I craved so I ate tuna subs from subway like all through my 1st trimester. Then I found out it was a "no no" so I started eating Chinese and Hot Wings :lol
I would use the chicken of the sea instead of the tuna and I would probably not tell much of a difference.

we had chinese...My husband is a rule follower!

UH OH..I eat only albacore, but it hasn't been alot with this baby.

If I get a tuna jones, I use the packets, not the cans. I don't eat it that much, but sometimes you gotta have it.

You're in for it then. Between "research", "studies" and everyone's 2 cents, you're going to have a lot of rules to follow :hehe

Haha I dare my husband to tell me what not to eat when I am pregnant and we'll see who sleeps on the couch, holding himself crying... :giggle

You can have fish there are charts for how much women, pregnant women, and children can eat and be healthy. Men are lucky and can eat about as much and as many varieties as they want. Fish is actually beneficial to a pregnant woman and her unborn child here is a helpful site with a good check list of what you can enjoy what to eat in moderation and what not to eat for Women, Children, and Women in child bearing years.

Also Chicken of the sea IS Tuna

lol no i'm talking about canned CHICKEN not "chicken of the sea" ;)

I was actually referring to this comment:

It seemed to me that she was saying Chicken of the Sea and Tuna were two different things. :hairout
