At my first OB checkup yesterday, I was presented with a folder of information, including an informational brochure produced by the State of Maryland, giving guidelines for healthy consumption of local fish.

I just found some of the brochure hilarious- I want to think that it probably isn't very common in other places to be told that you shouldn't eat crab "mustard" while pregnant? It just seems like a recommendation that would make somebody in a place where crabs aren't as much of a local 'thing' to go, "Whaa?" (The "mustard" is a liver-like organ in the crab with a really strong taste and apparently it has high levels of PCBs and mercury)

Fortunately this native Marylander thinks that eating the mustard at any time is just gross.

Did your health provider give you any food or activity restrictions during pregnancy that are very specific to your local area?
