Carmen,

I just read this last week. Might help you.

Pregnant Women Should Avoid Certain Fish

A study released last week by the Food and Drug Administration said pregnant women and those who might become pregnant should not eat four types of fish - shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish - because they could contain enough mercury to hurt a fetus' developing brain.

Fish is widely considered part of a healthy diet. But some types of fish can harbor high amounts of mercury, an element found naturally in the environment and also a pollutant.
