My husband brought me fish steak, shrimp and etc... Those were special delivery from my niece's party. Not bad! The salmon has a citrus scent and... it was really yummy to a starving mommy. When I started to feel satiated, I discovered the my 'salmon steak' is white. It does not even taste like salmon. Oh my god, that is in the pregnancy black list. Later, I discovered it was a blue marlin.
I have been very careful with my food- specially on fishes in the past. I refused to eat tuna, mackerel. Ouch! Marlin's mercury content is even higher. To what extent could it harm my unborn child? Could it cause severe nerve damage, autism or cerebral palsy.
I am 21st week tomorrow. I have congenital anomaly scan on the 22nd week. Could the mercury cause severe inflammation to my baby's brain? Has anyone eaten swordfish, shark or high mercury fish during their pregnancy?
Unfortunately, the mercury toxicity can't be undone. Is this my so called 'karma'? Huhuhu
