raw sushi

Did any of you ladies eat raw sushi while you were pregnant? Anything happen? I work at a sushi restaurant so I hear mix things about it. But to be safe I didn't eat raw. But I'm due in 10 days so I can't wait to get my grub on!!

The reason most fish is discouraged during pregnancy is mercury levels in the meat... it can do serious harm to baby's brain development... it's suggested to wait till you have the baby to consume raw sushi

There is nothing wrong with eating raw fish. As long as you trust the place you are eating it at.  Like for me I go to sushi bay and eat raw fish.   I won't eat at genkies even not pregnant cuz it's not fresh. You usually can tell  the difference  between  fresh and a day or so old fish...
