The Japanese eat raw fish throughout their pregnancies without incident. It is very unlikely that you could get a problem for this, as long as you were using a reputable restaurant and chef. The concern is the extremely rare infectious agent. The issues that have been in the press lately about mercury and so on are not different for raw or cooked fish.
