sushi while pregnant ?

Question

Ok ladies , I'm almost 24 weeks pregnant. My hubby and I LOVE going for all you can eat sushi, I haven't been since I found out I was pregnant but today he mentioned that he could go for some sushi ... I said OMG ME TOO 😍 I started to look up what is safe and what isn't. It's the high Mercury fish you want to avoid, but eating raw or cooked salmon is safe . What do you guys think should we go for sushi !?

Answer

I wouldn't eat anything raw. Try a California roll or shrimp tempura. That's how I get my sushi fix during pregnancy.

Answer

My doc just said avoid high Mercury and go somewhere reputable. Woman in Japan give birth to healthy babies constantly!

Answer

Honestly I craved sushi the other week and we went out and I got a roll with raw salmon on it. Just have to keep in mind how nice the place is and how they store they're meat. I wouldn't go to a hole in the wall type place and get sushi there. Judgment call for sure. Now I want sushi again 😂🤗

Answer

I've eaten sushi occasionally several times throughout the pregnancy. Had some just yesterday, actually! Raw and cooked. It's really up to you. I wouldn't recommend eating the raw/high Mercury stuff EVERYDAY. But you (probably) aren't going to eat it every day. Unless you have a compromised immune system or there are other health concerns, I think you're going to be perfectly fine. Enjoy it and satisfy those cravings! :)

Answer

My hubby and I go every couple of weeks :-) I just stick with the non raw fish rolls. I get thinks like Cali rolls, or at the place we go to, their dynamite and volcano rolls are delicious! They basically just have imitation crab, fried shrimp, avocado, and yummy sauces lol

Answer

I'm from Hawaii where we eat lots of sushi. My dr said the CDC has actually said sushi (even raw) is safe now, just make sure you eat it at a reputable place. It's just like any other fish consumption- no more than 6oz. As soon as she told me that I had ahi sushi twice!! So so so good. 
Also, in Japan, pregnant women to eat sushi on the reg, and they are considered very healthy people. Something to think about!

Answer

I eat raw sushi ... My friend ate raw sushi - her baby is fine

Answer

It's really up to you. I just came from Japan about 4 weeks ago. And I know the ladies there don't eat the raw ones, they eat the cooked sushi. But that's because they cut all the sushi on the same board and same knife so it's cross contamination.  But it's 100% up to you.  I have eaten lunch meat without heating it up every now and then. I also have a soda or coffe once or twice a week. I was just stay clear of high mercury fish. And not eat a ton of it. 🍱🍣🍥

Answer

Sushi is absolutely FINE ... As long as it has been frozen first. The problem with sushi is often a bacteria in raw fish, wich is killed when frozen, from what I understand. But most restaurants have to freeze or buy frozen (I think it's a health and safety thing) . I eat sushi all the time x

Answer

I choose deep fried rolls to feel safer about it...my favorite is the summer roll...mmmmm yes.
