A member asked:
I ate a lot of sushi and get food poisoning twice, before i realised that i get pregnant, is it will harm my baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely to happen: Food poisoning is more an issue localized to your digestive tract with secondary impact on how you feel & function.The fetus is isolated & protected from those events that do not involve the invasion of your blood with a germ or toxin, neither of which apply in this situation. To the extent you become dehydrated or land in the hospital it could complicate the pregnancy, but baby is pretty safe.
