Asian Food:
Most Asian foods, such as sushi, contain raw meat which is dangerous for the growth of your baby. Also, some of these foods contain Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) that can cause water retention in the body and which can make you retain water and can lead to complications like pre-eclampsia.
Raw Meats:
Raw or under cooked meats and eggs can create havoc with your body, as they may carry salmonella bacteria that can lead to gastric problems or cause deadly diseases like typhoid. Take care, especially if eating out.
Unpasteurized Cheese:
Although a milk product and rich in calcium, soft cheeses may contain harmful bacteria, like listeria, that can cause health problems for you and your baby. That means avoiding cheese like brie, blue brie, cambozola, camembert, chaumes, goat’s cheese and blue veined cheeses.
In general, avoid eating out. Eat as many fresh foods as you can and include a high fiber diet that will help deal with constipation as well. A little sacrifice for your baby will go a long way for you!
