raw fish

[alicesaidwhat]

Oh my sweet potato am I starving for a poke bowl (raw fish on a bed of rice for those that didn't know ^^). I've been trying to do some non-usa based research on eating raw fish while pregnant but I'm not feeling 100%. I mean...if people in Japan promote eating raw fish during pregnancy, what makes America so different? My doctor told me she wasn't sure since this pamphlet she gave me didn't say anything about RAW tuna. My friends all ate raw fish while pregnant and their babies came out just fine! I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant, so what do you ladies think?

Its an american thing. My mom ate sashimi all through both her pregnancies. The scare is the mercury levels and the damage it can do. I dont recomend eating raw fish in the first trimester thats when the most development is going on. I waited till i reached my 2nd trimester

I think you'll be fine. Americans tend to be more cautious.  In Europe they do stuff with their babies that Americans say hell no to. It's just the way of life. You'll be fine! By the way,  not being judgemental.  Just my opinion. ..
