I was really craving sushi while I was pregnant and I don't ever eat cooked rolls. We went for sushi once, I pigged out and then felt guilty...but I think we went out for sushi maybe once more after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-1654872 Fri, 23 May 2014 11:02:37 +0000 snowjewelz 1654872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh... I finally had sushi last night and it was glorious! I had california, spicy tuna (but then the whole roll was fried so the tuna became cooked), salmon skin roll &amp; soft shell crab roll! Craving satisfied! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-1641611 Sat, 17 May 2014 10:44:34 +0000 Ms.Mermaid 1641611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I craved sushi during my first trimester, so I had it quite often. I stuck to cooked and vegetarian and asked they be prepped away from anything raw. My OB doesn't seem to be particularly liberal on the raw fish issue, but says that cooked is fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-1641597 Sat, 17 May 2014 10:29:12 +0000 mdf106 1641597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate cooked rolls, mostly California rolls and eel rolls. I don't see the risk being higher than anywhere else - all restaurants handle raw meat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy/page/2#post-1641547 Sat, 17 May 2014 09:57:32 +0000 mrsrain 1641547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have eaten cooked rolls and garden rolls to get my fix. After all, every chef handles raw food in the kitchen! I just assume they are going to do their best to avoid cross-contaminating foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1641537 Sat, 17 May 2014 09:46:36 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1641537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I have yet this pregnancy, but I think it's totally safe to eat cooked sushi while pregnant. I don't worry about it being prepared in the same area as the raw stuff. If you go to a good place (and let's be honest, with sushi you should!), I trust that they are cleaning the work spaces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1641485 Sat, 17 May 2014 08:51:25 +0000 winniebee 1641485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat cooked and veggie rolls </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1641479 Sat, 17 May 2014 08:47:21 +0000 pmrlady 1641479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I continue to eat raw sushi that is low in mercury, mostly salmon. I also eat eel and shrimp sushi. </p> <p>There's actually more risk of getting e.coli from hamburger meat than there is from getting sick from sushi. </p> <p>I've actually done a lot of research on this topic and the risk of sushi is overblown if you eat from a good place. In Japan, the women continue to eat sushi regularly while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1641220 Sat, 17 May 2014 01:33:43 +0000 Boogs 1641220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat cooked probably twice a month, I need a fix one way or another! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1641195 Sat, 17 May 2014 00:40:48 +0000 loveisstrange 1641195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate all kinds while pregnant. I craved sushi bad. Just watch out for high mercury fish and make sure that the place you're eating at is clean and uses fresh ingredients. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1641045 Fri, 16 May 2014 21:12:47 +0000 Glitter 1641045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had tempura rolls and they hit the spot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1641025 Fri, 16 May 2014 20:52:10 +0000 theotherstark 1641025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh - damn you all.

I rarely get sick eating anything.. I have an iron stomach :silly: </p> <p>@sandy: @locavore_mama: Yeah, I think I def need to order a tempura roll soon to satisfy my craving though! I have never gotten sick eating raw fish, but I'm still nervous! </p> <p>@theotherstark: That's a good way of thinking about it! I feel the same way haha, esp w/ fast food or something! </p> <p>@yoursilverlining: That's what I kept telling DH haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640972 Fri, 16 May 2014 20:00:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 1640972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate veggie rolls, maybe cooked-- I definitely would have, but the place near work had a veggie combo that I liked. I never asked for special prep, but I had eaten there plenty of times so I wasn't too worried. I would have been too nervous to get raw fish, though I'm sure it would be fine. </p> <p>@lauraeabel: You ate sushi during the first trimester? All I could stomach was super duper processed crap-- like, a freshly grilled chicken breast was icky but chicken patty was delicious. Even better were mashed potatoes and fries. I'm impressed. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640961 Fri, 16 May 2014 19:48:25 +0000 dolphin 1640961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

Just be mindful of the types you eat to watch your intake for mercury. As others have said just make sure you go somewhere reputable that you've never gotten sick from. </p> <p>I was also warned by my dr in Japan to not over do it with eel, while it is cooked and does not have a high mercury content unlike fish, I guess eel has a lot of vitamin A. I'm pretty sure you would have to eat a whole lot though to reach that threshold though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640858 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:51:41 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1640858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally did this without a single qualm. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640849 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:44:25 +0000 HLK208 1640849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat veggie rolls and California rolls while pregnant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640847 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:42:46 +0000 yoursilverlining 1640847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Add another to the list who ate raw fish sushi while pregnant. The cooked just doesn't do it for me; and my OB ok'd sushi. Like she said, it isn't like women in japan stop eating sushi for 9 months, and it can preped just as freshly and safely here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640839 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:34:13 +0000 cookiemomster 1640839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's OB okayed sushi! It's something I get eyebrow raises for, but during the first trimester it was about all I could eat. I stick to low mercury fish based on this list my OB gave, like salmon and shrimp, and make sure it's from a reputable place. So far it hasn't caused any issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640836 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:29:07 +0000 catlady 1640836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate tempura and eel rolls mostly. I think next time, I will eat raw sushi too, as long as it's from a reputable place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640826 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:24:52 +0000 Sparkler 1640826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Same. I kind of don't buy into the pregnancy food recommendations. First time mom, I was super careful but as I paid attention to the news, listeria outbreaks were due to lettuce and garden burgers which made me suspect. I think a balanced diet is most important! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640813 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:20:20 +0000 Tidybee 1640813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally.

I didn't dare when I was pregnant! :) I didn't think to ask them to prep things in a different area &amp; with different boards/knives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640721 Fri, 16 May 2014 17:23:24 +0000 JessKas 1640721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate all the sushi when I was pregnant. Just from the place I've gone to for years not like...gas station sushi or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640717 Fri, 16 May 2014 17:22:35 +0000 bookwormmama 1640717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had tempura and veggie rolls once during pregnancy. I mentioned to the waitress that I was pregnant and asked to keep the raw stuff separate from my plate. She told me she would and they would also prep the rolls in a completely different area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640692 Fri, 16 May 2014 17:08:21 +0000 regberadaisy 1640692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate cooked once so far this pregnancy. :) </p> <p>@snowjewelz: if you're brave enough I'm sure there are plenty of really reputable places near you. :) </p> <p>But "reputable" is relative... Some people think supermarket sushi is reputable. We have SO many sushi places here but there's probably only 1 or 2 places I trust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-eaten-cooked-sushi-rolls-to-get-your-fix-during-pregnancy#post-1640678 Fri, 16 May 2014 17:00:01 +0000 sandy 1640678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is making me feel brave...I want sushi so bad, but have stuck to the cooked stuff so far. I think I will have to go get my fix once I'm out of the first trimester </p>
