WWYD - sushi while prego pole

DH wants to go to a sushi buffet place with a coworker and his wife. This is a very reputable place - on the higher end, and the stuff is fresh. It has not been sitting out for hours. I have eaten there many times and never gotten sick.

It's $28 per person I think. They have lots of things besides sushi, like soup, noodles, cooked steak and salmon, crab legs, made to order dessert crepes, ice cream, etc.

I want to go and want to eat the sushi (because it's good, and I'm paying for it), but DH is a bit weird about wanting me to follow all the food "rules" while pregnant. Unfortunately, my doctor said sushi is on the no-no list. Would you (if you were pregnant):

  • I think he just doesn't want her to order sushi, but would be ok with her eating the non-sushi items.  Did I get that right?

    So your husband wants to go somewhere but not let you eat?

    He sounds sweet.

    Well, he was like, "He and I had originally talked about going here, but then we thought about bringing the wives, and I know you can't really eat everything and get your money's worth, so maybe we can just go somewhere else."
  • Oh, ok.  If the other food items are limited, I'd probably vote to go somewhere else.

  • I totally ate sushi while pregnant, but opted for the cooked stuff.  Not as good admittedly, but satisfied the sushi craving.

    @Vandelay, there are lots of non-sushi items, so that would be fine (it's Nori Nori on Roswell Rd.), but he knows I like sushi, so that's why he said maybe we can just go somewhere else this time and then go back there when I'm not pregnant.

    I kind of want to just go and eat a little sushi, but I don't want to get side-eyed by my H or anyone else.

    I dont get the big deal. Ive been to many a sushi place while pregnant..and I just eat the cooked sushi rolls (like shrimp tempura rolls, California roll, or veggie rolls). Plus like you said, they have plenty of all cooked stuff there.

    Why not just go, eat whatever YOU feel comfortable eating while pg and call it day? Like another PP mentioned, I don't think you should care what someone else might think.

    then my home from the hospital meal with both babies was sushi and wine.

     

    Totally doing this!!! Sushi and wine sounds fucking fabulous. Only another 4 1/2ish months to go!

    So is he more worried about you consuming raw fish while pg or "getting your money's worth" because that is an odd way to phrase it.

    He doesn't want me to eat raw fish. His opinion on that is "It's my baby too," so he thinks he should get a say in what I eat or don't eat. I kind of get it, and he's not super controlling about most things. I have an occasional Coke, coffee, or sips of beer, and that's not a big deal.

    Our doctor said that he doesn't really care about deli meats or soft cheeses, but he would avoid sushi. I don't know. He's old.
  • I've eaten a bunch of sushi while pregnant. I just stay away from the high mercury stuff and don't eat it everyday. My doc was ok with me eating it.

     TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38
    Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.

    Moving on to IVF#1. ER 11/26/13, 16 eggs retreived, 12 mature and all fertilized. 2 blasts transferred on 12/1. All other embies arrested so nothing left to freeze. Beta 12/10 = BFN. IVF #2 March 2014. BFP!!! TEAM BLUE!!!

    Maybe take your son and dress him in "girl clothes" to distract from you eating sushi?

    Be sure to give him a tacky backpack to complete the ensemble. 
    _________

    Ha ha, regarding the backpack, DH got a free backpack from work yesterday (just a plain blue one with his work logo on it), and we gave it to DS, and DS kept saying, "I don't want it." But then my coworker bought DS some t-shirts with robots, trains, trucks, and airplanes, and DS just wants to wear those shirts all the time.

    So we may end up getting a tacky backpack, even if it's NMS.
  • Nooooooo to the pickled ginger! People eat that??
    SQUIRREL!!!

    Ok but why make a poll about this?

    I wanted to see what other people would do. Why make a poll or WWYD about anything?

    I'll still do what I want, but I wanted to get some different opinions. Sometimes (many times) on here, it helps to get some different perspectives.
  • I read the title and was like "is this even a real question".

    I had raw sushi during the first trimester w my first - it was an unplanned pregnancy (and yes I was on the pill). Kind of OT, but I hadn't found out when I went out for some sushi and sake with some dude (DH and I were on a break but fwb). I remember eating A TON of sushi and drinking the shit out of sake as well.
    So yeah, everything turned out fine but I didn't even eat fish with my subsequent pregnancies.
  • what the fuck with these breaks and fucking other guys?! 

    Sorry guys. I need to find the drinking thread. It's been a rough week for me.
  • Waah I wanna take it back! My post got the gif!! Not that this makes my post any less weird, but the fwb referred to my DH, not the other dude. There was nothing w the other dude.
