Emily's honest take
Oh mama, when you're expecting, it's really important to be mindful of certain foods, and swordfish is one that most health organizations advise against. This is because swordfish can contain high levels of mercury, specifically methylmercury, which can be harmful to your baby's developing brain and nervous system. The FDA, ACOG, and Mayo Clinic all recommend avoiding it to protect your little one.
Always check with your OB for personalized guidance on your diet during pregnancy.
