Question about tuna?

[Surebu]

Hi ladies. I have a quick question.. I really like tuna fish and I know that it is supposed to have high levels of mercury in it which is bad for babies.... Is this only when PG? Or is it when TTC too? And what about ligh tuna?.... Do you think it would be okay to eat light tuna?.....

They say tinned tuna has less in it I think, and as long as you eat less than 4 small tins a week you should be ok, oh and it is when ttc as well as preganant. Can't remember exact recommendation as has been a while since I googled foods to avoid.

According to this website: https://www.parents.com/pregnancy/my-body/nutrition/is-tuna-safe-during-pregnancy/

You only can eat up to 12 ounce of light tuna per week, soooo that is like 1 can per week?
