Why should you avoid sushi when pregnant?

According to Healthline, eating sushi, at least the kind with raw fish, isn't advisable until after giving birth as it increases the risks of exposure to certain types of bacteria and high mercury levels during pregnancy. However, other kinds of sushi which do not contain any raw or undercooked meat are perfectly fine.

SA relates to the new mom's excitement

Many netizens, particularly pregnant women, could relate to Chantell's excitement about eating sushi. They couldn't wait to eat and drink their favourite treat post-pregnancy.
