Can anyone tell me what foods/drinks to avoid?

Question

Going to the dr to confirm pregnancy today. But can anyone help me with what not to eat or drink? I know they say avoid a lot of salt but I’ve always been told to eat a lot of salt bc i have low blood pressure. Should i try to cut back now?

Answer

In terms of general pregnancy, avoid uncooked food (sushi, raw meats, etc.), deli meats (unless they’ve been heated), unpasteurized dairy products(such as eggs & milk & soft cheeses - you can only eat them if they say they’ve been pasteurized, which MOST store bought things have). 
Avoid alcohol, obviously :) and some say not to drink herbal tea other than peppermint, as herbs haven’t been studied enough to know what effect they have on babies. 
I’m sure there’s more, just off the top of my head there you go. You can also google it and should get a pretty comprehensive list :)
Congratulations!

Answer

Just cut back a little bit because it causes loads of fluid retention during pregnancy.

Answer

I agree with the other commenter. Also cut back on caffeine like coffee. Also if you are eating meat like burgers or steak have it more on the medium well- well done side.
