cravings

[1stxmommy]

I have been craving sushi since last week. My baby only allow me 2 enjoy eating my cravings. Is there any other moms going through this? If so, what rolls do u suggest?

Now I really want some, ahhh >_<!!!!
I normally go and order all the cooked roll like spider roll and dragon roll. But if I accidentally pop a piece that have spicy raw salmon into my month, I'm not going to freak our abut it.
Even my doctor agree it's not a big deal to eat the raw stuff but she rather not deal with a pregnant woman with a bad case of fish poisoning. So I will pig out with all the raw stuff in about 6 months, lol.
Oh, also do stay away from any supermarket per made sushi, you don't know how long they have been sitting there.
Otherwise enjoy your sushi ladies ^_^

I ate sushi and my baby is fine! The raw stuff too! About once a month. My mom ate raw fish as well and I came out fine. It's just about moderation. Women in Korea (I'm Korean) eat raw shellfish (I don't know the English name) because lot of benefits for pregnant lady. I know women in japan and other islands continue to eat it as well. I think in the states they just feel better safe then sorry... But... There's like billions of Asians... So it must be ok to eat raw fish :D

Just look for things that are cooked, crab and shrimp is going to be cooked and is a good option. Stay away from tuna, shark etc. that have a high mercury count. There are a lot of rolls out there that have no raw components, so there is not reason not to act on your craving. Plus you can always go for some tempura which is delicious and cooked!

I just went through this with hubby tonight!  He is heading to the grocery store for me and I'm feeding myself and the girls while he's out so I told him to pick up whatever he wanted to eat...he said "I think I'll get some sushi" I almost knocked him out lol!!!  But the think is we have moved from Hawaii where I could get the best Sushi!!!  I want some spicy tuna, but know I can't!!!!  I think a California roll would just make me sad...I want some raw fish lol!!!

Mmmm, sushi, sigh! Here we have a place that makes dragon rolls. I think it is chicken & a spicy sauce on top. Also my kids order hot lunch thru the school sometimes, and they often offer chicken teriyaki rolls :-) I wonder if I have the stuff to make California rolls....

I had sushi last week. I love it. I had a roll that had deep fried shrimp in it and some other things like cream cheese. But I avoided any raw fish, and the whole roll was deep fried as well, just to be safe nothing is raw lol.

Craving things such as dirt and ice are a sign of PICA, due to anemia. I craved dirt SO much when I was pregnant from Iron deficiency. If you have any cravings for non food items, speak to your doctor and get it checked out.

[Factorymomma]

[1stxmommy]

Yummy sound delicious

[parkersmommy]

I don't know what it would be called at your local sushi place but the place my friends and I go to it's called sweet potato dynamite it's like a sweet potato and cream cheese roll it's delicious.

[1stxmommy]

They need 2 create a specialty roll that's safe for pregnant women called the belly roll lol I believe they would make alot of money

[1stxmommy]

Thanks ladies I've been trying 2 find something other than California roll that's fully cooked and mines is really bad also my man told me no this morning also I got really emotional and walked away like a sad kid LOL but I know its for the health of our baby but sometimes the craving is so strong I can't eat anything else and I get extremely sick I don't understand why we crave all the bad things like sushi, dirt, ice, etc but I enjoy being pregnant

[Daviak]

I never crave sushi, but for some reason I have been craving a Margarita. I dont even drink them when im not pregnant. Why do you only crave things you cant have.

[LooLooBug]

Oh I'm craving it too. Like crying when my husband says no and dreaming about it. I've been craving it for a month. And even if I do eat it right after I want more. I eat whatever sushi I always have ate. Of course staying away from high mercury fish like tuna. As long as you trust your restaurant its fine. Besides like my doctor told me: What do the women in Japan and China eat?

[Factorymomma]

Mmm now I'm craving california rolls o.O lol

[hairdid]

California Rolls! Yummy! No raw fish and safe!
