Sushi (raw salmon) during pregnancy?

Question

What are every ones thoughts on eating Sashimi in pregnancy? I’ve been eating so much sushi this pregnancy. No tuna, only salmon. People have been commenting on it a lot. I feel like it’s safe so I will continue to eat it but wondering what other women’s thoughts are on it?

Answer

In other countries (like Japan) they don’t tell pregnant women they can’t have raw fish, just make sure you get it from a reputable source and stay away from high mercury fish. We all make the choices that work best for us, like I still eat my steak medium rare and don’t avoid cold cuts, if you want to eat sushi, go ahead, just be smart about your decision.

Answer

Raw fish is not safe. Keep eating sushi but nothing with raw fish.

Answer

I still eat it. I get sushi from one of two reputable places. I always tell people if they’re unsure then don’t do it and wait until after birth to continue. I just don’t eat octopus or eel.

Answer

Salmon is really good for you in pregnancy.  There is always a little risk food poisoning with sushi - that would be the only danger with salmon sushi.   just make sure you’re going to a good, trusted restaurant with freshest food.  I wouldn’t be picking up any gas station sushi!

Answer

I couldn’t decide if I thought it was safe or not, so I have only had cooked sushi during my pregnancy. I can’t wait to have some raw sushi though 🤤

Answer

I just had it the other day in a roll 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

I had sushi with my first but I always asked for my salmon to be cooked as I didn't want to risk anything. My DS turned out totally healthy 😎

Answer

I wouldn’t risk raw sushi no matter what some articles say. The majority of doctors say no to raw fish regardless of what kind of fish it is.
