What to avoid when pregnant

Question

Hey ladies! So just found out I’m pregnant with our second - I try to be as natural and avoid things that some women are ok with and/or ok in very little quantities - but I can’t remember everything I need to avoid 🤦🏼‍♀️ can you all remind me of what those things are?! Thank you!

Answer

Check with your doctor. If you listen to some of the women here you may end up thinking you have to avoid everything but oxygen and water! ;) 
But seriously it's not nearly as much as youd think. Check with your doctor - you'll get a better answer.

Answer

Ask your Dr their recommendations. You’ll get varying answers on here for everything.

Answer

Caffeine, deli meat, raw fish, fish high in mercury, raw eggs

Answer

Avoid unpasteurized cheese, nothing raw including egg yolk (sunny side up for example) everything fully cooked. Deli meats make sure you heat in microwave to kill bacteria

Answer

Basically any meat that’s cold (deli meat) or undercooked (sushi, rare steak) is bad for you. No undercooked eggs or homemade mayo either. No more than 200mg of caffeine per day. All cheese must be pasteurized (not much of a concern if you’re in the US). Some products like bean sprouts and hummus can also be dangerous.
Other than that, just eat what you can stomach. Make it healthy if you’re able, but don’t stress over it if you have to eat an all-carb diet for a bit to keep the nausea down.

Answer

unpasteurized juices, milks, cheese
