I did a "bad thing"....

jg1011 · May 2012

Okay-- I did a BAD thing tonight! I know there will be those that cluck their tongues and shake their fingers at me, but.....I ate sushi.

I did order three rolls---two were cooked, but one was raw. I know I shouldn't have done it, but I had such a craving. I ordered one salmon and avocado roll. And it was SOOOO good.

I won't have it again...at least I say that now! : )

I eat sushi still. My midwife told me it was fine, as long as it was at a reputable place. I usually stick to salmon though, as it tend to have lower levels of mercury than other types of fish that I like.

I get sushi prob 1x a week right now. I usually get a shrimp (cooked) roll and a raw salmon roll. I have been getting it at my grocery store for 2 years and it has always been super fresh (make it every day at lunch and at dinner time). If it smells bad, I don't eat it but honestly, it's always been fantastic.

If you've been eating sushi for a while and have a reputable place, it's not likely you are going to get sick. Japanese women eat sushi for their entire pregnancies.

I eat sushi every other week or so. Like PP said if the place is reputable and it smells fresh you're good.

Not bad at all. I still eat sushi rolls with fish low in mercury. And I had a glass of wine with dinner on Saturday night, and it was delicious, and baby loved it

Again, remember what women in Japan and Europe do, and ask yourself why Americans are so crazy, and our screwed up society loves to stress the living hell out of pregnant women with ridiculous rules? Still haven't figured that one out...

I would love to give into my sushi cravings, DH won't let me.

Enjoy some for me!

LOL, my husband is also super protective and paranoid! I have been dying for sushi (just California rolls/eel cucumber rolls) and he just looks very nervous and asks me not to...

I've been eating sushi once a week lately (the raw stuff). It's so good for you, and I only get it from my favorite restaurant, where I've been eating it for two years. I didn't indulge during my first pregnancy (we moved and I had no idea which restaurants were "safe"), and the cravings drove me crazy, lol. I'm just indulging this time.

Thanks for making me feel better everyone. It WAS good and I DID enjoy it! Let's see how long I can hold off before indulging again! : )

Probably because American women sue the pants off of anyone at any time... you sold me sushi when I was pregnant! That was reckless endangerment, you owe me millions!!!

Our society is so screwed up.

But yeah I still do the occasional salmon roll from my fav. place too

jg this is so funny because two days ago I finally gave into my craving and ordered 3 rolls - all were cooked but I waited 27 weeks to have Sushi!!

This entire pregnancy I have not had one craving... with the exception of Sushi!! (of course right? ) Well let me tell you this was THE BEST sushi I ever had and am planning on eating it again!! The place I get from is reputable and I never had an issue with freshness. I may even go for a Salmon roll next time who knows! They say to only eat Wild Salmon not farm raised...

Now I know what it feels to have a craving and actually fulfill it! Yeah!!
