Is it true that eating raw-fish sushi during pregnancy poses health risks to the mother and fetus?
Yes. A Cleveland Clinic maternal-fetal medicine source states directly that raw or undercooked fish in sushi carries heightened bacterial, parasitic and mercury risks in pregnancy, including miscarriage, stillbirth and fetal harm. Supporting peer-reviewed items add that raw-fish parasites are hard to treat in pregnancy and that raw fish causes anisakiasis.
