FTM here too. I was also worried about eating sushi. But I also realised there are many non-sashimi or non-raw choices of sushi! Was sooooo satisfied and happy after my sushi meal the other day. So yeah I suggest go for it! Just choose cooked ingredients 👌🏼

Hi mummy, no worries. I ate sashimi from respectable sushi restaurants/chains throughout my pregnancy (just last year!). Baby delivered well and healthy 🙂 I understand many mummies avoid raw foods, so it’s up to your comfort level.

I had a sushi buffet during my second tri and I made sure I only ate cooked sushi. Strictly no raw/sashimi. I didn’t have any problem.

my gynae say sashimi is okay as long as they are very fresh. get from those reputable restaurants instead of places like sushi express.

best not to eat. but i had a few bites just to satisty my cravings.. hee. make sure you know the restaurant is clean and serve fresh..

As long as the sushi doesn’t have any uncooked food in it, it is safe for consumption. No raw foods for pregnant mummies.

Yes! I ate sushi recently just to satisfy my cravings! Just make sure it’s not raw sashimi! I’m 22weeks along

Eat cooked sushi, it’s safe for consumption while pregnant :)

My gynae advise not to eat raw food but it’s up to you!
