What to eat when pregnant
A healthy pregnancy diet includes eating seafood or fish at least 2 to 3 times a week during pregnancy. Eating seafood is a great way to get important nutrients for you and your baby during pregnancy.
Seafood is one of the only foods rich in a healthy fatty acid called omega-3 DHA. Omega-3 DHA is the best possible nutrient for your baby’s brain and eye development. Other nutrients found in seafood — including calcium, protein, vitamin D and iron — help build healthy bones and muscles.
