good thing you told me
i love sushi and 9 weeks along
i haven't had it yet but i was thinking about it
no more
though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just do your research. It's very possible.
California rolls are great b/c everything is cooked. Unagi is fine, anything pickled or smoked or cooked is fine.
Moderation with tuna and salmon is the key.
Unagi!!!
Yeah, I'm a dork.

Are you not supposed to eat sushi when you're preggo?
Big no-no. Really, there is a large list of fish that are not for consumption. Also, eating raw fish increases instances of bacterial infections and other gastric disasters...
It's the mercury and worms in some fish, not bacteria, that is the issue. Both can be avoided by eating fish not known for it's high mercury content and fish that is prepared(i.e. smoked salmon, freshwater eel, pickled mackerel, etc.) and any fish that has been frozen for 24 hours prior to being made into sushi is fine. You just have to ask the chef. My wife and I ate TONS of sushi while she was pregnant so we did our research. There is no concerns with breastfeeding(neither here nor there, just thought I'd throw it in)
Actually, it's the mercury and iodine, not worms 
, (especially in lobsters, crabs, etc) that is the issue.
Pregnant women are only supposed to have no more than 12 oz of tuna and salmon a week (or any other kind of healthy fish). It's best to eat fish that are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids (I believe that's what they're called).
And, of course, stay away from anything that is not cooked thoroughly (like no cake or brownie batter because of the raw eggs).
Edited because I'm dyslexic.
And I can't spell

Good thing I'm never having kids, since I'm a pescetarian. I'd starve and fade away to nothing.

guinness has one of the lowest alcohol percentages.
besides, it's good for you.
Guinness is not vegan/vegetarian friendly because of the company's use of powdered fish bladder during production. They use it in all of their beers, as far as I know.
Hey wait.... is powdered fish bladder considered "unsafe, uncooked fish" the same way sushi is?? Gwyneth nooooooooo!
