Had sushi last night before I knew — how worried should I be?

Priya M.· 3 Jul 2026Question
I'm 7 weeks and found out yesterday. We went out Friday and I had a couple pieces of salmon nigiri (the cooked eel one too). Spiralled a bit reading forums. Has anyone been in this spot? Did your OB just say monitor symptoms, or did they want you in?

    I did almost the same at 6 weeks. Midwife said one-off cooked/proper sushi place is lower risk than street raw, watch for fever/GI symptoms next 1–2 days, and don't keep eating raw. Not medical advice but it calmed me down enough to sleep.

    Same panic here. My clinic's line was: don't repeat it, call if fever. You're not the only one.
