What happened to tuna pot pie?

I'm not sure by your question if you're referring to a Frozen variety, a Restaurant variety, or if you just mean in general/homemade. If it's a Restaurant variety, more and more people are making a conscience decision not to eat tuna in restaurants, as they are not able to see if it is dolphin-safe. While, as more and more studies come out and prove that pregnant women shouldn't consume tuna because of the high levels of mercury, and the damage it can cause on the unborn baby. As far as homemade Tuna Pot Pie, it is a simple recipe, and can be made with either fresh or canned tuna, and can be made year-round, as the tuna is readily available.

Foods great for pregnant mother?

THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR A PREGNANT MOTHER TO EAT. FISH IS SOMETHING VERY GOOD BECAUSE IT IS GOOD FOR THE BABY'S BRAIN DEVELOPMENT. CHEESE, MILK,VEGETABLES,RED MEAT, POULTRY AND CHICKEN ARE VERY GOOD AS LONG AS EVERYTHING IS WELL DONE. SALAD IS ALSO VERY GOOD FOR THE BABY BECAUSE OF THE PROTEIN IT HAS. ALSO, FRUITS ARE VERY ENRICHINGFOR YOUR FETUS. TRY TO STAYAWAY FROM RAW FOOD LIKE SUSHI AND TRY TO LIMIT YOUR TUNA FISH INTAKE BECAUSE TUNA FISH CONTAINS A HIGH LEVEL OF MERCURY WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR THE BABY.
