Anchovies, a small oily fish, are preserved in benzoic acid, and pregnant women should avoid them when possible. However, of all the "preservatives" out there this one is fairly safe. It is a naturally forming chemical that is present in ripe cranberries. Benzoic acid retards the growth of mold, yeast and some bacteria. If you are really concerned there is an international opinion that levels should be no more than 5mg/kg body weight per day.

No! Stay away from all fish and sea food! The Mercury content is very harmful to fetal development.
