Emily's honest take
Mama, it's really important to avoid shark while you're pregnant. Authoritative guidelines from organizations like the FDA, EPA, NHS, Mayo Clinic, and March of Dimes all advise against it. This is because shark can contain high levels of mercury, which can be harmful to your baby's developing brain and nervous system.
Always check with your OB or healthcare provider if you have any questions about specific foods during pregnancy.
