Is it bad to eat sushi during pregnancy?

I'm getting married at the end of the month and our wedding buffet is mostly sushi and things that you aren't meant to eat during pregnancy.

Is it really bad to eat sushi when pregnant? I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and I don't want to harm Bean at all. We can't find another caterer at such short notice as all the very good caterers are booked and have been for weeks, we were luck to find this one when we did. We planned the catering I wasn't pregnant.Is it bad to eat sushi during pregnancy?
I recently read in a pregnancy book that you have more of a risk of contracting bacterial infection from eating chicken then you do from sushi. And the infection that you may get from sushi doesn't carry over to your baby. Not that being that is if the fish is fresh and from a reputable place. If the sushi is sitting out for awhile in a unrefrigerated area i would avoid it.
If your not comfortable eating raw sushi than that's okay but the best thing to do is eat what is cooked and not raw. I know with my first child i read i was not to eat any seafood but a little is definitely not bad as long as its cooked! some fish contain mercury which is why the doctors say not to eat seafood while pregnant but i think if you just stick to more known fish like tuna and also shrimp (cooked) you'll be fine just don't take in too much. :)Is it bad to eat sushi during pregnancy?
Sushi is one the main foods to avoid. It's definitely not good to eat.



I suggest calling the place and having them see if they can make any without raw fish, I'm sure they can. If not, I suggest someone getting you a meal from a different restaurant and everyone else continue with the sushi buffet.
Some fish is very high in mercury and alot of it has to do with the quality of the fish and bacteria that can be there when it is raw. I wouldn't for-go your plan but maybe have someone (Mom maybe) have a little something for you on the side just to be safe.



I always think of women in Japan and Asian countries who eat it all the time and their kids are smarter than ours lol. Maybe they have the right idea??
the reason they say not to eat sushi is because the bacteria in the raw fish and it could get you sick and you aren't suppose to eat raw anything i would try to see if you could add a cooked something to the menu or just for you ya kno
Just stick to the stuff that isn't raw- cali rolls and stuff. You'd PROBABLY be ok, but why risk it? I ate a variety of non-raw sushi rolls when pregnant. At one point I felt I was living off cucumber special rolls and miso soup!
Asians have done it for eons. Have fish replaced by veggies.
nothing raw!
