But nothing raw at all. I know most people do just fine, but intrauterine infections can be devastating so it wasn't worth the risk to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-408360 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:53:49 +0000 edelweiss 408360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>before getting pregnant i thought i would partake in raw fish sushi, but i was wrong--i've only had california rolls. guess i turned out to be a little more paranoid than i thought! wish i could throw more caution to the wind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-408356 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:51:32 +0000 mrsmenow 408356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe cooked, but only form a reputable place. I would save the raw stuff for a special after delivery meal:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-408310 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:33:32 +0000 regberadaisy 408310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only the Cooked stuff twice from a reputable place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-408051 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 14:42:38 +0000 Revel 408051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only eaten cooked rolls so far (12w), but I don't have any concerns about those. I plan on probably going out to one of the better places in town in the next few months and ordering whatever I want. My midwife basically said that with the contamination issues (sushi, deli meats etc.) that if you were going to a place you knew was reputable and not eating it every day, you were probably fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407402 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:16:15 +0000 hilsy85 407402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't...but looking back, I really think I could have/wish I had! I mean, pregnant women in Japan don't stop eating sushi. Just make sure you're eating fresh fish from a reputable place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407396 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:13:36 +0000 tororojo 407396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had any, but I wouldn't hesitate to order cooked rolls! I have been avoiding sushi though b/c I would be bummed to miss out on the good stuff. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407395 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 10:13:21 +0000 Mrsbells 407395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had avocado rolls only </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407319 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:48:18 +0000 mamabolt 407319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate all kinds of sushi while I was pregnant, in fact, we ordered it the day I got my BFP. I felt safe doing that since I was only eating it once a month or so, and getting it from a reliable place I had been eating at for years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407308 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:43:03 +0000 GreenThumb 407308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was craving sushi so bad the other day that DH and I HAD to get it for dinner. I did only do cooked rolls and LOVED IT! I say go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407301 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 09:28:29 +0000 knittylady 407301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice! Thanks for all the responses! I certainly feel better about getting some cooked/veggie rolls and may even do raw.... I'm only 12 weeks but I'm already so sad without my sushi fix. Watching Jiro Dreams of Sushi on netflix didn't help either.... :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407235 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 08:19:52 +0000 blackbird 407235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate the cooked stuff BUT if i lived on a coast and had a really nice, fresh sushi restaurant, I'd eat the raw stuff there. I live in the midwest, so I'm just not going to go there.</p> <p>If you are concerned about cross contamination, realize that this would be an issue in ANY restaurant. There is raw fish, raw beef, raw chicken abounds in every single restaurant. There are many, many laws and regulations in place to keep things separate. Every restaurant I have ever worked at was extremely diligent about it because it would equate to a huge problem if someone did get sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407233 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 08:18:16 +0000 heffalump 407233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like sushi. But if I did, I would have been fine eating the veggie and cooked stuff. I think I would have stayed away from raw though, better safe than sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407228 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 08:12:25 +0000 GrapeCrush 407228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did. i didn't eat it as frequently, but i still ate it(the raw kind too). i only ate it from reputable places, no grocery stores lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407173 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 03:13:28 +0000 sarac 407173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't eat sushi, but I would have while pregnant. If the entire country of Japan manages, I think that it can be done safely here. I'd just go to a really high quality restaurant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407170 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 02:55:16 +0000 loveisstrange 407170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a philly roll once but I mostly stuck to veggie/cooked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407168 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 02:32:54 +0000 HabesBabe 407168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had poke bowls, salmon nigiri/sashimi, spicy tuna rolls, etc. from fancy places and strip mall places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407144 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 00:50:14 +0000 sylvie_b 407144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Half of my diet before I was PG was sushi so there was no way I could give it up. We have 2 great sushi restaurants by our house and I ate both raw and cooked rolls since my first trimester. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407126 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 23:59:10 +0000 mrsjyw 407126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had cooked rolls throughout pregnancy. Ive had bites philly/specialty rolls that have had raw fish in it in late third trim. From a reputable local sushi place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407125 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 23:57:02 +0000 lemondrop 407125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I wasn't nauseous I had it regularly. I switched up what fish I had, so it wasn't the same thing every time. </p> <p>We joke that our son is 90% sushi, shortly after conception I ate my weight in sushi on a cruise, and it was one thing I actually wanted to eat during a pregnancy where I had to force myself to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407111 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 23:23:05 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 407111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, more than a couple times. :) But only the good quality kind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407105 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 23:10:32 +0000 BlueWolverine 407105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc gave sushi the thumbs up as long as it was from a reputable place and I stayed away from the high mercury fish. I've had it 3 or 4 times so far. Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407093 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:50:03 +0000 squid 407093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were in Japan? for sure...here in the US? Probably only okay at a handful of places...either way I would still ask to avoid large fish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407088 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:44:00 +0000 Smurfette 407088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only had it once so far. I had a couple cooked rolls. Raw sushi isn't something I will take a chance on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407086 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:42:01 +0000 doodlepoodle 407086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: I was not a good girl with the short list ;) I didn't go get wastey pants or anything, but I still continued to live my life.

I had a bite of cookie dough (gasp!) coffee almost every day (double gasp!) and deli meat ALL the time (holycrapgasp!) and baby J is juuuust fine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407059 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:23:49 +0000 yoursilverlining 407059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, and I would again.

I wouldn't risk the raw kind though-- it's one of those things I'm surprised people don't get sick from more as it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-youwould-you-eat-sushi-while-pg#post-407049 Mon, 19 Nov 2012 22:10:51 +0000 matador84 407049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only cooked </p>
