Vegan or veg mums - sushi question

In pregnancy did you have veggie sushi avocado sushi etc.. from sushi shops? Or should I be worried in general about cross contamination with raw fish and that it might make me sick during pregnancy. I really want sushi but I would have veggie options.

Speak to your hospital but mine said very strongly that I can make hand rolls at home and to not eat at a take away sushi shop at all

I still ate vegetarian rolls, it's the raw fish that's the threat. I still had runny yolk eggs, soft cheeses (nearly all cheese in Australia is pasteurised anyway), grapes, alfalfa sprouts (yes, they have warnings too 😅). Majority of the things with the highest risk aren't vegetarian, and some of the things were advised not to eat have such a small risk. I didn't have prepackaged sandwiches especially, alcohol, microwave popcorn... I can't even remember what else I started clear from not Some doctors are a little too cautious. I told I wasn't allowed to eat anything at all from a deli (not true, not everything has a risk just cos it's from a deli, that I can't eat even one tiny bit of salad unless I washed it myself at home

@Estelle I’ve not heard of needing to avoid microwave popcorn! Do you know why you were told to avoid it? I’m genuinely curious.

I read that the inside of the packaging is coated in ingredients that may be harmful to the fetus

@Estelle I've never heard of this but this is really good to know! There should be honestly more information about this. Thank you for sharing
