During pregnancy, it's best to be extra careful with food choices. Raw fish can carry risks. My doctor always advised fresh, well-cooked meals and regular checkups. Best to ask your gynaecologist directly for such specific food queries.
I completely understand the worry when you're pregnant and trying to figure out what's safe. It feels like everything needs to be checked twice. For sushi, specifically, many doctors advise against raw fish during pregnancy due to potential bacteria or parasites. It's better to be safe than sorry, and stick to fully cooked options or vegetarian rolls.
With PCOS, I've learned that every body is different and what works for one might not work for another. Pregnancy is a very delicate time, and generally, raw fish is advised against because of potential risks. Please consult your doctor; they will give you the most accurate advice for your specific situation.
For something as important as pregnancy, you really should not rely on internet opinions. Raw fish carries risks of parasites or bacteria which could be harmful. It's always best to check with your obstetrician. They can give you specific dietary guidelines.

Please, please do not take any chances during pregnancy. I once ignored a small symptom and it caused so much stress later.
