What are some foods you cant eat while bein pregnant??

Question

I know there are some restictions

Answer 1

Cheese - soft mould-ripened or blue cheese should be avoided, i.e. cheese that has a blue vein in it or the type of skin or crust that is found on cheese such as Brie or Camembert. Unpasteurised soft cheeses, such as those made from sheep and goat's milk are also best avoided.

Eggs - you only need to avoid raw or undercooked eggs.

All salad dressings that you buy in supermarkets, such as mayonnaise, will have been made using pasteurised egg and are therefore quite safe. Cook eggs until the yolk and white are not runny any more. Be careful about eating "home-made" products such as chocolate mousse and fresh mayonnaise in delis which may contain raw egg.

Other dairy products - unpasteurised milk and dairy products made with unpasteurised milk are best avoided as they are more likely to carry bacteria that could give you food poisoning.

Paté - all paté should be avoided, whether made from meat, fish or vegetables.

Meat and meat products - it's fine to eat meat, but make sure it is cooked thoroughly and there are no pink or red bits and that the juices run clear, especially if it's cooked on a barbecue, or as part of a ready meal. Cured meat products, such as Parma ham and salami, also carry a risk and are best avoided.

Oily fish - is good for you and your baby but it can contain environmental pollutants. Have no more than two portions of oily fish a week such as mackerel, sardines and trout so you get all the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, but also cut the risk from the pollutants. Limit tuna to no more than two tuna steaks a week or four medium-size cans of tuna a week. Avoid shark, swordfish and marlin altogether because of the high levels of mercury in these fish, which could harm your baby's developing nervous system.

Answer 2

Raw meat and unpasteurized dairy. (I don't know why anyone would eat it pregnant or not, except sushi)

Fish (due to mercury), sugar, and salt should be limited.

Answer 3

http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/nutritioni... this will help you, if you still want research go to google.com in search type what to avoid foods while pregnant.  

Answer 4

Try not to intake foods/drinks with a lot of caffine.  I know they say you can have some, but during the first trimester, I tried to avoid coffee and sodas all together and only eat small amounts of candy.  Also, don't eat hot dogs, sandwich meats that are uncooked, soft cheeses, fish high in mercury (tuna, swordfish, shell fish), and make sure you don't intake vitamins high in vitamin A.

Answer 5

raw fish and meat

cut right back on sugar and caffine

Answer 6

There are some good websites to find out this stuff- babycentre.com and the book what to expect when expecting/ what to eat when expecting by Arlene Eisenburg.

Avoid ham and other processed meats- like hotdogs, salami, chicken roll etc. also any soft cheeses should be avoided as well as raw fish.  I think it has something to do with listeria and other bacteria which can be harmful to the baby.

Good luck!!  

- you should also make sure to take the preganncy multivitamins to ensure you have enough energy and vitamins for both you and bub

- you can have certain types of fish- but they should be limited.  Certain tuna is actually good for you both

Answer 7

You should avoid any soft cheeses..like Feta and others. You should avoid anything that's not pasterized. You also should eat fish no more than twice a week and tuna no more than twice a month. Make sure ALL meats are completely cooked thoroughly. Make sure you wash all of your fruits and vegetables off before eating as well to avoid illness. I personally would be very careful with any seafood.  

Answer 8

do not eat......

pate

raw fish,

raw egg (or runny egg),

homemade mayonnaise (be careful of coleslaw-it has to be pasturised mayo they use.) hellmans is ok tho!!  

soft cheese or blue cheese.

avoid peanuts aswell as this can cause baba to become allergic.

cheesecake (only if its homemade because of the raw egg in it)

homemade ice cream

also make sure any seafood you eat has been cooked thoroughly, all salad and veg is washed properly etc.

i think thats it...theres probably more but if you are ever worried just dont eat it!! thats what i do!

good luck with the pregnancy xx

Answer 9
