Can I eat sushi while pregnant?

Yes, but steer clear of sushi made with raw fish.

During pregnancy it's recommended that you only eat fish and shellfish that has been cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking fish to this temperature destroys any potentially harmful parasites and pathogens (other disease-causing organisms such as bacteria and viruses).

It's important to avoid potentially dangerous foods during pregnancy because your immune system is suppressed.
