cod — Yes during pregnancy
A note from Emily
Emily's honest take
Many authoritative guidelines, including the NHS, FDA, EPA, ACOG, and Mayo Clinic, recommend cod as a safe option for pregnant women. It's classified as a low-mercury white fish and is a good source of protein, essential vitamins, and minerals that support both your health and your baby's development. You can safely enjoy 2-3 servings (8-12 ounces) of low-mercury fish like cod each week, making sure it's always thoroughly cooked until piping hot, opaque throughout, and flakes easily. Just remember to avoid cod liver and cod liver oil supplements, as they can contain excessive amounts of Vitamin A which isn't recommended during pregnancy.

Always check with your OB or healthcare provider if you have any specific concerns, mama.
