I ate Sushi

[Goods]

I are some sushi without checking if the fish had been frozen first. I'm in Spain on holiday. What do I do? I have no symptoms but after reading up on Listeria it said you might not know you even have it as it may only be a slight fever but it still affects the baby.

I can't sleep for worrying.

I ate quite a bit of sushi early on before I knew I was pregnant and I was fine. I think these warnings are in place for the very rare occurrence that it causes problems.... Better to be safe than sorry etc. I really wouldn't worry, just don't make a habit of it.

I would try not to worry about it. Getting listeria and toxiplasma is rare and not that easy to get, despite what they tel us pregnant women.
That being said, you still need to be careful and not make it a habit.
I hope it was delicious!!!

Thanks ladies! Just everything I read seemed to be horror stories!!! I think I'll still mention it to my midwife though.

I eat sushi all the time. Raw, frozen, whatever I want! If you read up on it it'll tell you the risk of listeria or any infection is SO incredibly low, I really don't worry about it. I would struggle a lot if I didn't have my sushi fix throughout pregnancy. There are so many things that are 'off-limits' that weren't years ago when our mother's had healthy babies, I think it's a bit ridiculous! So I eat what I want. Relax and enjoy!

This. I've had sushi a lot, often 4 times a week for the past month or so. Delicious.

Same as the two above posters. I was more cautious about everything during my first pregnancy, but now I just eat sushi whenever I can get it, which isn't often enough!

I had sushi and I eat deli meats and I just don't worry about it. Googling anything will usually only give you horror stories!
