Is there anything I really shouldn't eat?

Question

I am between 6-7 weeks pregnant and I've seen my GP about 4 times, but she hasn't said anything about food and what I should/shouldn't be eating. this is my first pregnancy and I'm unsure whether there is any foods that I should not eat! Is there any really dangerous foods I should avoid? :)

Answer

Eggs have to be fully cooked and all meats. So no steak for this momma because I can only eat it medium! 😁😁😁😁

Answer

The thing that I didn't know about was not being able to have soy! Apparently it has estrogen and affects out levels? Not sure exactly, but I read that somewhere and I am super sensitive to milk! 😭

Answer

I know cold hot dogs and cold lunch meat are no nos. I do however believe they are fine one heated. Other than that I'm not sure. I'm sure there's stuff you could find online.

Answer

Raw fish excessive amounts of salon and tuna or fish that are high in mercury.

Answer

Moderation is key.

Answer

Deli meats and hot dogs need to be heated. No raw proteins such as fish, chicken, beef etc.. Make sure all your dairy is pasturerized. You can have feta, blue cheese etc but it has to be pasteurized which most US dairy is.

Answer

Stay away from food high in Mercury

Answer

Def consider the amount of fish you eat (if any) and the amount of mercury each fish contains. I think they said max of 20oz of fish a week during pregnancy. I also heard to stay away from certain cheeses like blue cheese, and brie. Also Ceasar dressing since it contains raw anchovies. Nothing raw of course but just Google stuff as it may have changed since I looked during my last pregnancy which was 5 years ago.
