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.

Anaphylactic shock (also called Anaphylaxis) is a rapid and severe Allergic reaction, and one of the scariest health emergencies a parent can face. It starts when the immune system mistakenly responds to a harmless substance as if it were a serious threat. This triggers the release of Histamine and other chemicals that cause a number of symptoms — some of them life-threatening.

The symptoms in a baby include:

    * Swelling of the skin, lips, throat, tongue, or face
    * Wheezing or severe breathing problems
    * Rapid pulse or Irregular heartbeat
    * Hives
    * Loss of consciousness
    * Vomiting
    * Diarrhea
    * Extremely pale skin and Sweating, Skin redness, or blue skin color

Symptoms usually appear within two hours after exposure to the substance — sometimes within minutes — although it's possible for symptoms to appear up to four hours later.

Anaphylaxis is uncommon in babies under 6 months, in part because they haven't been exposed to many Allergens, especially food Allergens. In general, it takes more than one exposure to an Allergen for a reaction to occur, and it can take until the toddler years for some Allergies to develop. Still, Anaphylaxis has been reported in babies as young as 1 month old and in children with no known previous exposure to the Allergen.

Hives show up when the body releases a chemical called Histamine.

There are so many reasons this might happen that you might have trouble identifying the culprit, but here are the most likely possibilities:

• Insect bites and stings.
• If your baby's allergic to bees or fire ants, for example, he could develop Hives in reaction to being stung or bitten.
• Food.
• Your baby might get Hives in reaction to something he eats, once he's eating solids. Or he might react to something you ate if you're Breastfeeding him. The most likely Foods to offend are Tree nuts, Peanuts, Eggs, shellFish, Chocolate, Fish, Milk, Fresh or Frozen berries, tomatoes, and certain Food additives and Preservatives. (Some of these Foods, like cow's Milk, are not suitable for babies, but your baby might still react to them in your breast Milk.) He may break out in Hives because he's allergic to the protein in the Food, or simply because his body reacts to a chemical in the Food by releasing Histamine. Some children even develop Hives simply from coming into contact with certain Foods — for example, when the Juice from a strawberry gets on their skin. (Surprisingly, those same babies might not react to eating strawberries.)
• Allergens
• Babies who have developed an Allergy to cats could also break out in Hives when they touch the kitty. Your baby could even get Hives from an allergen in the air, like pollen.
• Illness.
• Your baby might get Hives when he has a cold or other Viral infection. Less commonly, he could get Hives from a Bacterial infection.
• Temperature.
• Sometimes cold Temperatures can cause Hives. The same goes for a sudden change in Temperature — such as when your baby's skin warms up after being cold.
• Drugs.
• Antibiotics and some other Medications might cause your baby to break out in Hives.
