Sushi for pregnant woman

I would say no. Although the chances of getting a Parasitic infection from eating Sushi are slim, the consequences are severe enough that you wouldn't want to take the risk.

Parasites live in the meat of raw fish. While Sushi chefs are very careful, that doesn't mean they detect every single Parasite. And because Pregnancy suppresses your immune system, you're much more susceptible to serious illness from any food-borne organism.

A Parasitic infection probably couldn't get through the placental barrier, but a Parasitic infection could give you liver or Gastrointestinal problems that might then affect your baby. Some Parasitic infections can lead to Anemia or serious Malnourishment in the mother or even cause miscarriage.

There's also the risk of eating fish that has a marine toxin in it. Bluefish, Mackerel, Mahi-mahi, and Tuna can carry a Histamine toxin that may cause flushing, dizziness, and burning of the mouth and throat.

Spicy foods during pregnancy

It's safe, but whether it's desirable is up to you.

Your body will tell if you shouldn't do it.

Eating Spicy foods may be uncomfortable, especially in the last half to last third of Pregnancy, when your stomach is sitting somewhere near your throat and you're very Prone to Heartburn.

And some women develop Heartburn even earlier in Pregnancy.

Raw oysters during pregnancy

Being Pregnant doesn't make it any riskier to eat raw Oysters.

Anytime you eat raw Shellfish there's a chance you could get something that's not good.

Oysters can carry Hepatitis. If you get Hepatitis when you're Pregnant, you'll probably get sicker than you would otherwise.

But acute Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C are usually not transmitted across the Placenta to the baby.

So it really just depends on how much you want to eat those Oysters.

Nonorganic produce for pregnant woman

The most significant difference between organic and Nonorganic produce is that the former often Tastes better than the latter. The differences in nutrient content are not really significant.

There may be some pesticide residues on Nonorganic produce, but this can be minimized by Washing, Peeling, or when appropriate, cooking the food. Eating only produce grown in the United States will greatly reduce your risk of exposure, because much of the worst Pesticide contamination comes from imported produce.

The most important thing, however, is to eat five to nine servings of Fruits and veggies each day. If you're on a tight budget, you don't have to limit yourself to the organic section.
