A slice of batang fish and sambal belacan

Im in 19 weeks into pregnancy and I accidentally ate sambal belacan and batang fish. This is my first time and im feeling so bad for my baby.. is it safe to eat these once in a while? #FTM #firsttimemom #firstbaby #pleasehelp

You can have spicy food during pregnancy. They say to avoid belacan only because it is not fully cooked. And for the fish I believe because some fish may have higher mercury content (those that are silver in color). Once in awhile shouldn’t be a problem but try not to have it too often.
