Bad Food:
Blue cheese,Camembert,Brie, and blue veined varieties such as Gargonzola.Studies show that you are prone to contract a infection from such foods that may not harm you but may harm your baby.
Raw and undercooked meat,poultry,sushi,pate,raw eggs: undercooked meat and raw eggs are as much of a danger to people not trying to conceive as it is to women trying to conceive and who are pregnant.
Tuna,Mercury may be found in tuna fish.
Try to avoid Aspartame as much as possible!
Caffine!
Calcium Supplements,If you are taking calcium supplements stop now! Here is a article from CNN.com showing that calcium supplements contain lead which can harm your baby when you are pregnant.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An environmental public interest group has asked the government to eliminate lead from all calcium supplements, but nutritionists call the action a scare tactic. Many pregnant women take calcium supplements to help fetuses grow properly and to replenish bodily supplies. As women grow older, they also require extra calcium to prevent bone deterioration.
"We are posing a challenge to America's calcium supplement manufacturers," says Erik Olson of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). "Why not get the lead out of your products? It's easy, it's affordable, and some products on the market today already have virtually no lead in them." Most calcium pills contain natural traces of lead. However, the NRDC, which previously sounded the alarm about the pesticide ALAR in apples, says there are no safe levels of lead, and that taking calcium supplements could double the amount of lead people ingest on a daily basis. It points out that lead poisoning can increase blood pressure, affect memory and slow down learning in children.
Medication:
Acne and psoriasis medication: all medication that includes retinoid-derived,and cyproterone.
Amphetamines
Steroids and androgens
Cold Medication: Anything that has Astemizole or is a antihistamine. Talk to your doctor before taking something for a cold that has a antihistamine in it. Your doctor will probably recommend medication you can take. I've been recommended Robitussin.
PAIN MEDICATION: I have been told to take only Tylenol. I have heard of many women taking pain medication before consulting their doctor and it has resulted in the loss of the baby. Just the other day I learned from healthsurfing.com that if you take Ibuprofin during pregnancy it can cause a miscarriage. Personally Tylenol has always worked for me as far as a good pain reliever.
Beta Blockers
Antibiotics: Talk to your doctor before being proscribed a antibiotic. They may be able to give you a safer alternative.
Diuretics
Ergotamine
Griseofluvin:a antifungal medication.
Idoxuridine:used for cold sores.
Lithium
Nicotine replacement medication.
Progestogen
Some Vaccines

Oyster and rare steak Not sure why but when I was pregnant I craved both and every restaurant refused to sell me either because they were not allowed to serve them to pregnant women. I think the oysters were even against the law to serve me here in California!

Any meat you eat should be really well done and no deli meats til you're past the first trimester. Also any prepared salads from restaurants, supermarksts, take-aways should be avoided due to Listeria. Any soft cheeses are to be avoided, especially blue-vein cheese. Hope this helps.

stay away from raw fish and seafood and swordfish and only have tuna once in a while. Cook meat well done. Be extra careful about eating from food stands.

Caffeine. Many people don't seem to be aware of what caffeine can do to your body, let alone an embryo.
