This is definitely a question to ask your doctor. They can give you more indepth answers to your questions. However, I can tell you that you need to be careful of what fish you eat, and how much. Some fish contain mercury, and too much of this can really harm the baby. But as I said, you should really talk to your doctor about this.
I'm not a doctor--but i can just tell you what they've told me--
i was told not to eat sushi, or any large fist like shark or swordfish b/c the mercury content in larger fish is usually higher. also artificial rasberry flavored, and herbal teas aren't good for you-i can't remember why, but you could ask about it. Just make sure to take your prenatal vitamins and you may want to ask about calcium supplements if you can't or just don't like milk.
And remember your not eating for two fullsize line backers-a common misconception among the pregnant population-just thought i'd throw that in there.
hi,
some cheeses are bad for you when preggo due to not being pasterised, i think blue cheeses are off, brie, and alot of french cheeses. i have heard aspirin is bad too, pate is also off the menu. heather83 is right, large fish should be avoided, including tuna. also, avoid caffeine, tea and coffee due to the caffeine... fizzy drinks such as coke also contain caffeine.
my partner is a real foody and has done extensive food hygiene courses so i was constantly being reminded what not to eat! i went right off coffee and fish anyway though! good luck!!
hi when i was pregnant i was told not to eat too much tuna,eggs or egg mayonaise the obvios is not to eat liver or drink too much caffene.you can get info from pregnancy books.you should eat plenty of fruit and veg and drink lots of water.hope your luckier then me i couldnt eat anything except ice lollies lol everything made me sick.
In the UK we are now recommended to eat 1-2 portions of oily fish a week during pregnancy! You should only avoid the worst fish, like sharks, marlin etc.
ANy soft cheeses that are unpasturized such as blue, feta, brie... Large fish such as tuna or swordfish (not to much of any fish actually- especially shellfish), peanut butter in large quantities has been found in the past few years to cause nut allergies, Caffeine, alcohol... there's more but I can' remember- your doc should have a complete list!
