actually my relatives say stingray is good, got lots of nutrients. if the mercury in it is really high i don't think it will be permitted to be consume here, cos not only bad for preggy ladies but to everyone right..

Not only stingray, my gynae told me not to eat otah, mackarel & shark meat. Same reason, high mercury.

Yes, agree with Domique, it is not good as they are deep sea fish and is loaded with lotsa mercury so not recommended to take.. take more salmom, cod fish etc..
as long as u take every group of food in moderation is fine :)

I ate a few times when I was pregnant. Agree that if you can refrain from eating, just refrain. Mercury no good for baby's brain. But once in a while is ok. Once in a while as in like once in 2 mths. That was what I set for myself. I love sting ray too!

otah, sting ray, mango, papayas - > cant eat
octopus, crab and mutton(more of supertitions) -> if u don't believe it is up to u:)

I think there is nothing to reverse the situation liao.. now what u can do is to stop eating them.

I asked my gynae and she said tat its ok to eat all those, stingray, otah and mackerel. Its fish so they gives out proteins. As long as u dun smoke, drink or eat raw foods, then it shouldnt be a problem to the baby.

Eat in moderations. I think these r all individual's believes from old folks.

Hey, it is good to have this forum! As much as sometimes we read up alot ourselves, there are still new things to find out.

I also ate Otah a few times and suffered diarrhoea afterwards. I always knew chilli was not good for my tummy during pregnancy but it is good reminder that the fish contents too are not good fish! :p

Salmon, Cod fish, Ngoh fish (Hokkien) or Mayou (Cantonese) fish are examples of good protein for our lil ones. Always loved fish!
