Sushi????

Question

I know sushi isn't good to have while pregnant. I've stayed away from sushi completely but I am craving it so bad. Is it really bad if I just have it one time.... ?

Answer

I eat raw sushi like every week or two....im 34 weeks. The only thing you need to avoid is fish high in mercury.  I dont understand why womam still think they cant have sushi....

Answer

The rule against sushi is culturally offensive and outdated.
Sushi is fine to eat. Yup even raw, so long as you are careful about Mercury consuption and eat a reputable restaurant.

California rolls and other cooked rolls are fine, as well.

I am part Asian and sushi and other seafood dishes are an important part of the prenatal diet in many countries.

Go for it! 
In fact, my hunny and I just had some amazing sashimi the other night!

Answer

I was actually reading about this the other day and from what I saw it's actually made out to sound a lot worse during pregnancy than it actually is. In Japan sushi is a perfectly normal part of a pregnant women's diet! There is a risk of it being harmful because of parasites and bacteria, so I guess it's a judgement call on your part! If you do end up having it tho, just be sure to look into which dish is have a lot of mercury and avoid that, the mercury intake can be harmful too. (:

Answer

As long as it's cooked I'm told it's fine to have

Answer

No I have been eating seafood every now and then and I am 30 weeks with a healthy baby. Just be careful where u get it from.

Answer

Literally just got off the phone with my doctor cause I'm cramping bad and wanted to know if it had anything to do with the spicy tuna roll I ate 2 days ago. He said it's okay as long as the sushi is fresh. But I'd still try to steer clear but I was like you with the cravings and I gave in. I had some earlier in my pregnancy too. Everything is okay but better safe than sorry so I'm gonna try to stay away.

Answer

I went for sushi one time and the woman who owned the restaurant said she lived in Japan during her pregnancies and all she ate was raw fish and that it's very common to eat raw fish during pregnancy. If your really concerned though you can just eat the cooked sushi. They're usually made with shrimp and artificial crab which I believe is not one of the high Mercury type seafood.

Answer

Sushi places deep freeze sushi to kill all parasites, I eat a smoked salon sushi (it's cooked) but you should be good as long as you eat it more more than once a month because of Mercury levels

Answer

As long as you stay away from high Mercury fish like tuna it's fine to eat if you trust the place you get it from... I eat sushi all the time and I'm 32 weeks but just stay away from certain fish

Answer

You're definitely allowed to have sushi. Sashimi is what you need to steer clear of.
