Actually, not all sea foods aren't off limits. Most fish and shellfish other than those high in mercury, are safe for unborn babies and offer lots of low-fat proteins and omega-3 fatty acids, both crucial for the health of both the mother and the baby inside her.

I have read an article that there is nothing wrong in eating fish during pregnancy or if you are TTC. It also helps your baby grow smarter.
