That is so sad. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-200973 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:19:23 +0000 mamimami 200973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No raw fish but I have had smoked salmon and all the other non-raw rolls. I am pretty sure it's all prepared in the same area so I have a feeling it's just as if I had been eating raw stuff anyway!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-200969 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 10:16:19 +0000 HabesBabe 200969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yeah, I did/do! I wanted to get some salmon sashimi on Friday, but the place was too packed and the hostess couldn't hear my order over the phone.</p> <p>@winniebee: Wow, that is super sad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-200669 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 20:24:41 +0000 winniebee 200669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't.... Sadly I know of a woman who got listeria from eating raw sushi and lost her baby late term so I didn't want to risk it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-200654 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 19:57:12 +0000 cyneswith 200654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will note that I can now eat shrimp and crab, so even without tuna, I can still have twice as many things that are on the menu! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-200623 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 18:45:21 +0000 yoursilverlining 200623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup - ate (raw) spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls once every few weeks and plenty of cooked rolls too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-200564 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:05:54 +0000 mrsjyw 200564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had sushi last night for dinner and for lunch today. i was really tempted to try a philly roll, then guilt kicked in so i played it safe and stayed to cooked rolls - california and shrimp... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-200447 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 11:08:59 +0000 mrskc 200447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do california rolls count?

I'm totally going to eat sushi. I figure you can't get much fresher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-200133 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 15:17:45 +0000 chrispygal 200133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would loooooooove some sushi but have stayed away from it. I had the cooked variety in the beginning but cannot wait for a spicy salmon roll! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-200118 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 14:15:12 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 200118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I REALLY WANT TO...LIKE SO BAD. We have a super reputable place here in town and my husband always gets it and eats it in front of me! He won't let me have any:( Between him &amp; my OB, I'm not allowed to do anything:(<br /> But next appointment, i'll beg her and see what she says. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199949 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 08:02:20 +0000 looch 199949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would guess there might be issues with cross contamination. All the stuff is prepared in the same area and the chefs probably don't wash hands in between making cooked and uncooked in the same order. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199916 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 05:19:42 +0000 Andrea 199916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't understand why you can't eat the cooked stuff? I had some of the cooked stuff but not a lot ....it's just not as good anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199903 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 02:33:33 +0000 looch 199903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I did. I had a beer with it too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199902 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 02:31:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 199902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: That's crazy! California rolls don't even count! There's nothing raw! That would have driven me crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199901 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 02:26:58 +0000 SugarplumsMom 199901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I've had gravlax on two occasions and two whole wedges of brie to myself in the 2nd trimester. I can't wait to have sushi though! It's my treat right after I give birth!</p> <p>Although the sushi places around here should be completely fine, it's just not exactly the same quality I'm used to back in the States. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199893 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 00:19:47 +0000 loveisstrange 199893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally did. I was in the "women have been doing it for hundreds of years" camp. It's common in Japan for pregnant women to eat sushi, from what I understand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199880 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 23:06:48 +0000 cyneswith 199880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well... I did... Until I had some during morning sickness, and it all came back up. It hasn't appealed since then. As far as safety goes, I just choose low mercury fish and go with a restaurant I trust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199872 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 22:42:01 +0000 deannab1 199872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my first trimester I worried about everything...no lunch meat, sushi, caffeine, etc... My OB told me to chill out and everything in moderation was ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199862 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 22:06:12 +0000 skibobrown 199862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only ate sushi made from cooked fish. I was kind of paranoid, but I really do think it's fine to eat sushi from a reputable restaurant that you trust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199860 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 21:48:03 +0000 JessicaMcB 199860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm a deliquent preggo and have had all sorts of sushi from our favorite place. My doctor isn't very worried about sushi though (he told me once he thinks that regulation stems more from cultural discrimination and ignorance than actual issues), he's a freak about coldcuts, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199847 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 21:12:32 +0000 MsMini 199847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had sushi a couple times, I generally went for cooked varieties, but every once in a while had a piece or 2 of raw stuff. I didn't feel guilty about it, as long as I did it in moderation.</p> <p>@Mrsdaredevil: If someone ever ripped food out of my hand I would probably punch them, that is so freaking rude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199845 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 21:07:54 +0000 sandy 199845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No raw fish sushi...just California rolls to satisfy my cravings :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199842 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 21:00:43 +0000 Sweet T 199842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had unagi twice. It made me nervous though and baby didn't like it so much. It still doesn't sit well with me at almost 10 months postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199805 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 19:47:16 +0000 autumnlove 199805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only ate before the first 5 weeks...before I knew I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199787 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 19:27:21 +0000 GrapeCrush 199787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when we found out i was pregnant DH and i went and celebrated with sushi...oops!!! i ate only at reputable sushi restaurants around here and i definitely didn't eat sushi as often as i had when i'm not pregnant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199751 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 18:54:05 +0000 banana 199751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: OMG I eat california rolls all the time! It craves my sushi cravings, even though it's fake crab meat. I would be more than irritated if somebody snatched away my cali rolls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199749 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 18:53:36 +0000 Minnie_Girl 199749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, lots of it! Sushi is so healthy. Bring on the omega-3s and DHA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199746 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 18:51:30 +0000 lemondrop 199746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We joke that our son is 90% sushi, I had a week of sushi on the cruise ship very soon after getting pregnant- those cells needed food to divide. It was also one of the few things I could stand when I had morning sickness, oddly enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-sushi-while-you-were-pregnant#post-199743 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 18:48:36 +0000 banana 199743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: If it's from a reputable place, I say go for it! Hopefully your OB will give you the green light, like mine did. :) </p>
