dejonshawn,
Some types of sushi, such as California rolls (which contain steamed
crab) and cooked eel, are fine to eat while you're pregnant. But it's
best to avoid eating the kinds that contain raw seafood, such as tuna.
Fresh, raw seafood is potentially risky because it can contain
parasites such as tapeworm, which, if they grow large enough, could rob
your body of nutrients needed for your growing baby. Freezing and
cooking deep-sixes the parasites. For this reason, many Japanese
restaurants that specialize in sushi use frozen rather than fresh fish.
But restaurants in the United States aren't required to freeze fish
before serving it raw.
