Sushi?

Ok here is the deal.....I ate sushi last night after a ridiculous amount of research. Yes, there was one raw roll. The rest were cooked.....My mother in law flipped. I don't get the big deal. Women in Japan and China eat sushi throughout their pregnancy. The bacteria that we are supposed to be cautious of does not live on fish, just raw animal meat. I did not eat  any of the fish that were on the forbidden list (mercury)...and I didn't eat that much. So where are you guys falling on this?

    I would avoid raw sushi going forward, but I also wouldn't worry too much about it this time. The risks are there, but I don't think they're really that high, so the odds of it being a problem the one time you ate raw seafood is pretty unlikely.

    I did the same thing last week. Couple date and sushi was decided upon knowing I was pregnant. Okay, I did some research while they were ordering and had a few rolls with crab, salmon and tuna. I mostly ate edamame and a California roll. After dinner and our event I came home and had two pieces of leftover pizza!

    Yep! I hate like a whole bowl of seaweed salad.

    I read a lot about this too because I'm a total sushi lover. From what I read, the risk of bacteria infection isn't to the baby, but would make the mama sick (possible vomiting/diarrhea) which could cause dehydration. Its not like Listeria in its harmfulness to the baby. The mercury is a factor, but you're clearly cautious of that as well. I know that I'll occasionally have sushi during this pregnancy. I ate cooked sushi the other day, but those darned creamy scallops were calling my name! I think if you frequent a reputable place, known for quality and cleanliness, a cautious meal is just fine.

    I don't think it's a big deal especially if you have eaten at the restaurant before without a problem! Like you said they eat it in Japan for their whole pregnancy. I occasionally had a roll with my daughter and she is perfect (I know typical Mom comment).

    I think eating sushi is fine from a nice place. I haven't been getting my weekly fix... But I've had a bit of an aversion. Not sure why, it's one of my favorite foods normally.

    I had sushi already a few time while pregnant . Tho my favored is eel and that is cooked yay!
    Two tips I can give you while for eating raw:
    Never eat prepackaged store sushi (you never know how long it was there)
    And
    Try to avoid raw fish during summer time (fish spoils faster)
