"Prioritizing a safe diet during pregnancy is paramount for both maternal and fetal well-being. Avoiding specific foods like raw seafood, unpasteurized dairy, and certain meats significantly reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses and other complications."

It is generally recommended to avoid sushi made with raw fish during pregnancy due to the risk of bacterial and parasitic contamination. Cooked sushi options are usually considered safer.

Are pre-existing conditions covered?

Yes. Under modern healthcare laws (such as the ACA in the US or universal systems), insurers cannot deny coverage or charge you more due to a pre-existing medical condition.

What is an Out-of-Pocket Maximum?

It is the absolute most you will have to pay for covered medical services in a year. Once you hit this limit, your insurance pays 100% of all covered costs.
