Hi, Its my first time been pregnant and i whant to know what i shouldnt eat while pregnant?

Answer 1

Not alot of junk food and no undercooked, raw food.

Answer 2

When I was pregnant, my OB/GYN made these strong suggestions: 1) no caffeine (soda, tea, or coffee); 2) lots of veggies (many women get constipated during pregnancy, and these can help alleviate that); 3) as few processed meats as possible; 4) no empty calories (chips, candy bars, candies and other sweets -- because they wouldn't help me or baby develop); 5) no Tuna or Swordfish, or anything with Mercury; 6) no raw eggs (even raw cookie dough made with eggs!)

I asked her why she had these rules. She said they weren't rules, just suggestions. I needed to be healthy enough to maintain my weight, healthy bloodflow, and to help my baby grow and develop well. So I ate as healthily as I could; I even went so far as to rarely eat fast food. I felt really good physically, and my baby was very healthy when she was born.

Answer 3

Fish is a great and healthy food to have while pregnant! Its a simple matter of what TYPE of fish to avoid like the large salt water fish that contain high levels of mercury. Fresh water fish like trout, catfish, fish sticks, flounder, salmon, craoker, and haddok are ok to eat. Tuna can be eaten in moderation (one serving a week). Large fish like shark, tile fish, swordfish, tuna steaks, sea bass, Halibut and other LARGE saltwater fish are known to contain high levels of methyl mercury, a substance that can potentially cause neurological damage when consumed in large amounts. Farm-raised trout and catfish, Pacific salmon, and fish sticks are safe. Shellfish (shrimp, crawfish, crab, etc)are also fine to eat while pregnant. Remember that all of these are to be well cooked, not raw or smoked.

Other foods to avoid are-

-Raw meats -Raw chicken -Raw eggs (Caesar salads and eggnog!!!) -Soft cheeses, including Brie, Camembert, Mexican-style, and any other cheese that may be made with inadequately pasteurized milk, can harbor Listeria. -Do not drink raw milk, or eat foods that contain unpasteurized milk. -Pate -Unwashed fruits & vegetables -Foods & drinks that contain caffeine (limit or avoid!) tea, coffee, and colas -Alcohol -Saccharin (NutraSweet is preferable)

Liver is a GREAT source of much needed iron while pregnant (anemia is common during pregnancy). Peanuts are also a healthy snack and should only be avoided if you are allergic to them.

Answer 4

You will want to avoid big fish that contain a lot of mercury such as Tuna, Swordfish, etc. Also, no sushi or raw, no undercooked (rare) meats, and no honey. Honey is raw and unpasteurized, and may contain bacteria that could be harmful to you. Good luck!

Answer 5

really just eat anything you want, you know to much caffine isn't good for anyone and it is best for women in genaral to cook all their meats well done other than that i ate whatever i wanted fish is very good for you and baby and like the other answer you have veggies are very good bacause it's easy to get constapated when pregnant. good luck Congradulations!!!

Answer 6

usually they say fish and to try and eat healthy. they should have given you a list of ways to get all the calcium and all that you need at your first visit if they didnt ask them and they will provide you with all the do's and don'ts of eating while pregnant. good luck to you :)

Answer 7

Deli meats, soft cheeses, canned tuna, sushi, lots of caffeine, alcohol, unpasteurized dairy products.
But the best way to know is to talk to your doctor to get all the right info for you.

Answer 8

you can eat just about whatever you want......don't eat to much junk food....if you need to eat snacks throughout the day make them healthy snacks.....i found that if i eat more often i felt better....instead of eating 3 meals a day make it 6 meals, but make them smaller meals.....that will also help with not gaining to much weight during the whole pregnancy....if you have any questions your doctor can help you also.....

Answer 9

Stay away from soft unpasteurized cheeses such as brie. they can contain listeria which can be harmful. You can still have cream cheese as long as it says pasteurized on the label.

Answer 10

No tuna fish... too much mercury. No Cold cuts, sausages or hot dogs - too many nitrates.
