But like @Alivoo01: I pretty much everything on the 'no-no' list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant/page/2#post-1322184 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:36:40 +0000 looch 1322184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: true, but some takeout paces pack it all together, so in some ways, you just can't be sure, you know?</p> <p>I think it comes down to knowing your source. Any food has the potential to be either contaminated or cross contaminated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant/page/2#post-1322136 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:27:14 +0000 Honeygold89 1322136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing raw just cooked rolls and I have only done it a hand full of times and I would on eat like one or two and then stop but when baby gets here I already told DH I want smoked oysters and sushi yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant/page/2#post-1322016 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 10:00:11 +0000 regberadaisy 1322016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: most places I go the cooked sushi is usually made in the kitchen and raw at the bar. And a lot of cooked sushi is fried!

I stuck mostly to cooked, since thats a lot of what I like anyway (shrimp tempura FTW), but I did eat a few Philly and salmon rolls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant/page/2#post-1321724 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 04:53:35 +0000 yin 1321724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I did not have any. With my second, I enjoyed an occasional piece of raw sushi. Glad you were able to enjoy a few pieces tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant/page/2#post-1321715 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 03:47:27 +0000 Zbug 1321715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: Glad you enjoyed it! I never had sushi, but only because I didn't end up missing it at all. I did a ton of other things against "the rules" though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant#post-1321693 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 02:25:11 +0000 shopaholic 1321693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few bites of sushi/sashimi while pregnant, especially on our babymoon in Hawaii. It was just too hard to resist. But I really just would have one bite, here and there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant#post-1321691 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 02:20:18 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1321691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But only because I don't trust the sushi restaurants here 100%. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant#post-1321685 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 01:57:01 +0000 googly-eyes 1321685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only the cooked stuff so I voted no. Next pregnancy I might though. I think it also depends where you live (how fresh the fish is.) I craved it my whole pregnancy!! (Well post m/s...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant#post-1321627 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 23:48:18 +0000 indi 1321627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: I told DH that our first date post-delivery is sushi and wine, with sushi and wine for dessert. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant#post-1321572 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:45:53 +0000 Colee 1321572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, from reputable places (no grocery store sushi). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant#post-1321569 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:44:24 +0000 luckypenny 1321569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I super enjoyed my spicy tuna roll tonight ! I only ate a few pieces but it was so yummy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant#post-1321568 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:44:15 +0000 irene 1321568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. But I wish I had!!! In a way, I am glad I didn't - cut down the variables of food poisoning. I think I would have been very mad at myself if I ate sushi and got sick and caused complications. Besides, various fishes are high on mercury, so I also was very careful on that. But boy that was a difficult time. No sushi and no wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant#post-1321567 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 22:42:26 +0000 shortcake 1321567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. There is no more risk of parasites in fish served in sushi or sashimi because it is flash frozen as required by the government. So that hamburger, chicken sandwich or egg salad has just as much risk. And parasites might make you sick, but they don't affect the fetus.

It's not worth the risk risk to me. I had chances to eat it in some of the best places in NYC and I would say that's as good as you get stateside for sashimi.<br /> For the next eight months cooked sushi will just have to do! . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-pregnant#post-1321473 Sun, 05 Jan 2014 21:38:29 +0000 MamaChin 1321473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, no. With my second I've snuck a few pieces of DH's. </p>
