Eating ceviche while pregnant?

So today for lunch I had some ceviche. Some people are saying it's not good for the baby while others are saying it's fine. Does anyone know? And should I call my doctor to get checked or anything? I am very worried

I have eaten sushi (raw) through out my pregnancy.  I think it's perfectly fine as long as you are getting it from a reputable place and avoiding fish high in mercury, like tuna. My doctor told me it's okay in moderation.  I'm not loaded enough to spend 60 bucks at a sushi bar all the time anyway. Lol

^^ agreed.  Also you have to watch out for fish that is high in mercury. That may be the concern.  I'm not sure if that is high in mercury but u can Google it to check

As long as the fish and shrimp isn't raw you and the baby should be fine.
