1st Trimester

My doc gives a thumb's up to sushi

Finally had my first appointment yesterday - she did another ultrasound (I had one at 7 weeks) to check the heartbeat, which I didn't expect so that was cool. Baby actually has a head!

Anyway, the point of the post is my doc says that sushi from reputable restaurants is totally fine. Cooked, raw, whatever. She said the fish is generally so fresh that listeria really isn't a concern. It's undercooked stuff that's been around for a while that is more cause for concern.

I'm not suggesting anybody should start eating sushi if it makes them feel uncomfortable and I'm sure different docs say different things, but I just thought it was interesting info and it definitely made my day!

  • my doc said that as well, but I don't think I'll have any.

  • I am SOOO jealous - I *tried* to get my doc to give me the sushi go ahead and she said definitely no. 

     SAD.

  • Makes me feel better about having had an awesome sushi dinner 2 days before I got my BFP.

    ...think I will keep to the cooked stuff though.

    Thank you for sharing that info!

  • I think I have been craving Sushi and hotdogs just because I know I can't have them... I think my first meal after the baby is born will be a platter of sushimi!
  • I am totally making my hubby take me out to my favorite sushi restaurant for valentines day and I am going to eat the crap out of that sushi!

  • From what I've read, it's no the listeria that's the issue in sushi (the listeria is a problem in unpasturized cheese)...but moreso the levels of mercury in sushi and certain fish that can be dangerous to a baby. Moderation is key.
  • I am going to go scarf some major amounts of sushi for lunch today.  I don't like the raw kind so I am not concerned about that....but that's funny that people have been talking about sushi so much lately and craving it.  I can't stop thinking about it.  I woke up this morning and I have had it on my mind ever since!
