I'm 6 weeks pregnant and off to Japan (on a pre-organised holiday) - ADVICE?

Even though it's fresh don't eat sushi or sashimi while pregnant.

Hi, just wondering why?

Raw fish can carry bacteria. E-coli, bacillus cereus, staphylococcus and listeria monocytogenes can all be found in sushi. It's just one of those risks in pregnancy that you don't want to take, like eating soft cheese. You might not get sick, but you could.

Ok, thanks I knew those risks but thought fresh was ok. Thanks for that.
