Will Eating Fish After A Long Time Cause Adverse Reactions During Pregnancy?

I ve been a Vegetarian for about 11 years now. At the moment I am 3 months pregnant and because of the baby i would like to start eating fish again. Is it ok to start eating fish again, or is it possible that my body would react in a bad way to the strange food after 11 years?

Hi,
There should be no problem unless you have developed any recent food allergy towards fish. You can try little amounts of what you used to consume earlier and if you do not find any discomfort, go for it. If you have a doubt that you may have become allergic or may develop an allergic reaction, you should avoid taking fish; you can take mineral supplements instead. You can also take an anti-allergic medication as a precaution since you have entered the second trimester of your pregnancy, the organogenesis taken place, before trying the food. Hope this helps.
