ya the only concern that i am sure that that person had was the mercury (like melissa mentions). Mercury is horrible to ingest in quantities while pregnant. don't ever let someone tell you you are a bad mom, if they are noticing things then they either don't have enough to do on their own time or they like to make others feel like crap. Neither of which sound to fun to have around. so glad that your kiddo is healthy. and like kelly dee mentions if doc says okay then by all means go for it.

I craved California rolls with my oldest I only ate the cooked one's I was told to do so in moderation the the omega in fish is really good for you and your baby. Any one can call you a bad mom but if your child is healthy and happy and well adjusted the proof is in the product! Most people who make it a point to point out you're failing are playing off their own insecurities

I ate cooked fish and california rolls when I was preggers. Its only bad if you eat alot (due to mercury) and if its raw. People have their own opinions about EVERYTHING. Sometimes you just let it roll bc they dont know how stupid they are lol. You know what your doctor told you and your healthy baby proves it. So...forget them lol.

Eating sushi that has been cooked is fine. My friend was told the same thing about only eating cooked sushi. I myself did avoid it for the most part, but I only eat sushi that's cooked anyway.

From what i understand you aren't supposed to eat raw fish, or fish (seafood) that contains a lot of murcury (like tuna or shell fish) I ate salmon every now and then and had califonia rolls quite often and my son is fine and actually loves salmon! Everyone seems to have an opinon when it come to someone elses kids hey?

Lol... Someone actually aid that you were a bad mom for eating sushi?! There are certain fish that you should stay away from(really just limit them from your diet, not give up all together), but cooked crab and shrimp, even raw crab and shrimp doesn't create a huge threat to a fetus growing inside you. I mean, there are far worse things you could do than eat sushi while you're pregnant. Lol.

I pretty much follow the rule that if my doctor says it's okay, it's okay. My mom and other older mothers have told me countless times now, "If I were pregnant now instead of back when I was pregnant, my kid would have been born with five arms/two heads/no toes/etc." meaning. . thank God they had their kids before they came up with all of these crazy rules! Another thing I'm constantly told by my doctor, "EVERYTHING is fine, in moderation." This is my first pregnancy but everything is going perfectly fine, right on schedule, and while I don't indulge in sweet tea often, and do avoid sushi completely, and never, ever smoke or drink (just a few examples), I realize .. I'm not going to beat myself up over it, because three pieces of sushi would not be the end of the world, especially if my very smart, very well-trained doc says it's fine! :)

it was fine if your baby is ok and your doctor said it was ok .. your sushi was cooked and you say it was crab meat and shrimp they dont even really matter if you eat them its more the fish that you should stay away from you are not a bad person

As long as you are eating food that is fully cooked then you are fine. It just uncooked or not properly prepared food that you sould worry about. I have friends that at the cooked sushi when they were prenant. Also since a lot of fish has mercury in it then that should be limited in your diet. That is all I have been told about what is okay to eat during pregnancy. I think your okay if it was cooked sushi and not raw. Best of luck with your pregnancy.
