Answer 1

Don't eat cold meats. The can foster the bacteria Listeria. melt the cheese on the cold cuts before eating...Warm up the chicken pasta just a little past room temp etc.
Just make sure your dentist knows you're pregnant. It is definitely safe to keep up with your dental health. No x-rays before 12wks. And always wear lead vests!!
Don't eat Large fish such as...sword fish, shark...there are a couple others. you can google.
You can always call a nurse to find out for sure.
And no soft cheese...bleu cheese, brie...

Answer 2

I found with all 3 of my pregnancies everyone thinks they have the best answer or remedy. The thing these people are telling you to do or not do is only going to stress you. Your diet does not need to change. Your body is adapted to the way you eat, and has taught itself to function properly that way. The same will be during your pregnancy. Worrying about nonsense like what you should and shouldn't eat is only going to make for a miserable pregnancy. I changed nothing with my eating habits with all of my pregnancies and I have 3 of the healthiest, brightest children in the nation!

Answer 3

I have had three kids and the only thing I was ever told not to eat a lot of was fresh fish caught in the Wisconsin lakes and rivers because the mercury levels. If you don't want to gain a lot of weight fast stick with your food pyramid. Don't eat a lot of fatty foods such as fast foods.Other wise eat what your feel you can eat. Also it is safe to have filings and teeth pulled when your pregnant I did. Just make sure your dentist is aware that your pregnant. And whoever said you couldn't eat cream cheese and cold meats is full of it. I ate lots of cold meats, salami, bologna, turkey etc. Just remember eat healthy, take your vitamins and your ready to go.

Answer 4

I would NOT get a filling done while pregnant. That stuff they inject into you will go to the baby. You don't want to mess with the formation of your baby. YOu will regret it the rest of your child's life. I'm sure waiting a couple more months for a filling won't kill you.
Don' t eat too much fish...mercury..one serving a week
Drinks lots of water to help replenish baby's amiotic fluid.
take walks around the block once a day.
If you are having morning sickness, try eating small meals more often all day

The dentistry should be no problem, but be Sure to tell the assistant.
When you see your Ob/Gyn Doc, they should give you instructions on foods to avoid, and those that are beneficial. If not, ask for that info, there. In the meantime, eat normally.

Do not smoke or drink alcohol during pregnancy. Ask about taking extra folic acid.

Answer 8

I waited until I was 6 months pregnancy to get a dental x-rays and my OB said it was safer than airport x-rays. You should try your best to stay away from oily types of fish, caffeine (sodas, even diet types and coffee) in the first trimester and drink lots of water and milk.
