Sushi - Birthday Dinner

[sweetpea508]

I know I'm totally getting side-eyed for this but I'm going to vent anyways. My birthday is Sunday and I SOOO want sushi. It's hot out and cold sushi sounds amazing right now. I'll be 37 weeks and I'm trying to convince myself that that is close enough to the due date to not really make a difference. I'll probably be too chickenshit to go because I know people will totally be judging my huge pregnant self at a sushi restaurant but I almost don't care. Philly roll, spicy tuna, and anything eel Mmmmmm....crap

Just go to a really good, reputable place and enjoy. Seriously.

Word. I'd do it.

Yup. I'd just avoid the usual suspect fish for mercury reasons.

Ditto, go to a reputable place and enjoy it!

I have eaten sushi twice so far and have no intention of giving it up. I say go and enjoy!

I just went on Saturday. I just ordered rolls that had cooked fish in them.

I do sushi every few weeks. I skip the raw and big fish options (so no tuna for me).

Go some place you trust their fish and handling. Philly roll and eel are both cooked right? One little spicy tuna roll in a pregnancy isn't going to give your baby mercury poisoning.

I've been wanting sushi sooooooo bad. Spicy tuna is my favorite! I've been sticking to sushi that's cooked, like shrimp. But I'm sure a spicy tuna roll will be fine.

I had never heard of the no sushi while PG rule until thenest/thebump, so I am assuming most people won't even think twice about you doing it.

I have eaten sushi pregnant, like sashimi (and tuna), on several occasions. Shhhh!

[SallySparrow]

Seriously, go enjoy it. And if anyone gives you any crap, kindly remind them that you didn't ask for their damn opinion in the first place. Or, you know, ignore them. Whatever.

Team Sushi. Enjoy! Mmm, sushi rocks!

ETA: oh darn, I just realized I posted on the wrong board. LOL. I'm sorry. (I still vote to go for it. )

[magpie]

I'd go. I've been eating cooked and veggie sushi this whole time. I never even wondered if people in the restaurant were judging me. a spicy tuna roll is probably going to be fine for you as long as the place is okay. Isn't the eel always cooked anyway? Now I'm hungry for sushi...

[sweetpea508]

Alright, it's ON! I'm pigging out on sushi for my Bday, woohoo! Most the stuff I get is cooked. I'm not sure if smoked salmon is questionable or not but its in the Philly. I just found out they are having an all day happy hour at my favorite sushi restaurant (its one of the nicest places in town). Cheapish sushi and drinks (for the hubby), I'm totally feeling better about being the size of a whale on my birthday

[winecheery]

Have a happy birthday!

[hymen]

I ate sushi last pregnancy. My kid is fine. I plan on having a few rolls this time around too. Enjoy!

[mssue]

Sounds yummy! I've been dying for a huge plate of sashimi this whole pregnancy but have settled for cooked rolls for now. Have fun!

[ErinExpat]

Do it! No one here stops eating sushi. Ever. Lol. When in Rome...
