I've baneen craving sushi and I know the raw kind is bad but i am planning to get cooked stuffed like california rolls and sweet potato rolls.  i am worried that the food i roder could be contaminated by the raw fish if they use the same knifes and gloves during preparation. should i beworied or am i over reacting? i don't want to put my baby at risk but i could just be worred as a first time mom. your thoughts?

Re: sushi

  • You will be fine! I've had sushi during my pregnancy (the cooked kind) and I didn't even think about contamination that way...

  • You will be a-okay.  I ate the GASP raw sushi now and again during my pregnancy and never had a problem.

  • If you go to a reputable sushi place they won't cross contaminate their raw foods with cooked. Plus, their raw sushi should be bacteria free. I've been eating sushi (the cooked kind) my whole pregnancy and everything has turned out fine.

  • Don't stress and just enjoy it! I have even had spicy tuna roll because and it does contain some raw tuna.  My doctor said anything is fine in small amounts....

     

    Ladies in Japan eat sushi ALL of the time pregnant..so stop stressing and enjoy your pregnancy! :)

  • Yup, I ate sushi during my pregnancy.  I also ate lunch meat whenever I wanted and had coffee every day.  My doctor was fine with all of this.

  • Thanks everyone.  I enjoyed it and apparently there were so many cooked options available.

     I checked out your blog and it is very cool.  I think I will try some of those recipes...yum.

  • Whatever you eat try to eat it when you feel really hungry! The acid that produced our stomach when we are hungry is a real bacteria fighter  - and the best  prove for this is a very poor people, homeless - they eat "tons of bakterias" and are even better then we are in case of immune  - that is all related to eating when you are really hungry!

  • You will be fine! I had a craving for sushi last week too...

    There is a sushi place by me that has cooked rolls... Yum. I had a tempura shrimp roll topped with cooked red snapper. It was delish!
