Yes. There is no need to worry over what you already did, just over what you do from now on. Tell your doctor what you ate and he can make sure all is well, but everything will be ok. Only some of those types of food are bad while pregnant anyway, just discuss with your doctor these things and take care of yourself.
Congratulations and good luck!

Your baby will be absolutely fine hun, dont worry.
Ive heard of the nuts prawns and home made mayo but never heard of ice cream! well thats a new one for me.im 17wks 2 days and i eat ice cream with my kids on a regular basis, i also eat prawns you just have to make sure that they are cooked properly, i also eat peanut butter!
For my 1st pregnancy 12 yrs ago i ate pate, but when i got pregnant 6wks after havin my 1st, i was told i wasnt allowed to, i think in years to come a pregnant mother wont be able to eat anything!! lol

i wouldn't worry too much. i was told that nuts are ok if there are no allergies in the family (you or father) shop bought mayo is fine and tub ice cream is ok but not from a machine like McFlurry or Mr Whippy as its not pasturised. but if you're not ill from them you should be ok. and i had prawns when i was pregnant i just made sure they were properly defrosted then cooked properly (i had scampi). any worries phone or go see your midwife she is there to help and reassure you. good luck x

I think u r worrying unnecessarily.Eating any of the above and practically most of the things which u normally consume is not going to harm ur baby.
ABSOLUTE NO-NO are any kind of medicines/drugs not prescribed by ur doctor.
KEEP AWAY FROM SMOKING/ALCOHOL throughout pregancy and later when lactating.
There may be other dietary restrictions later if there is some complication in your pewgnancy.
For now eat healthy-normal activity and adequate rest and regular follow-up with ur OB and remain happy.
Best Luck

I'm sure it''l be fine i didn't know i was pregnant with my 3rd son till i was 28wks (hard to believe i know) and i was smoking drinking and eating anything and everything till then you cant avoid things if you dont know your pregnant so i really wouldn't worry yourself also i believe its only nuts and fresh mayo your meant to avoid out of the 4 you've mentioned

yes do not worry - lots of women eat things they aren't meant to before finding out they are pregnant. Don't beat yourself up about it.

Who told you this, if you are unsure of what to eat, just ask your doctor or nurse they will be glad to help you, but the foods you mentioned shouldn't harm your baby, a dollop of icecream now and again does you no harm.

I'm sure if you feel ok your baby will be ok, its very early on for you. Check with your midwife and stop from now on and you should be fine.
