Congratulations on your pregnancy! I’m already 10 months PP!
I can hardly believe it.
As a mum-to-be, you are probably doing everything you can to ensure that you and your little one are healthy and happy.
One of the most annoying thing while being pregnant is sticking to a diet.
While there are many foods that can help you stay healthy during pregnancy, there are also some foods that you should avoid. Here’s a quick rundown of the foods to steer clear of.
1. Raw or undercooked meats: These can be a source of harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella.
2. Fish with high mercury levels: Certain fish like swordfish, shark, and king mackerel have high mercury levels, which can be toxic to your baby.
3. Unpasteurized dairy products: Products like raw milk and cheese may carry harmful bacteria, so it’s best to avoid them.
4. Processed meats: These may contain nitrates, which are not ideal for your baby’s development.
5. Caffeine: While a little bit of caffeine is usually okay, it’s best to limit your intake during pregnancy.
By avoiding these foods, you can ensure that you and your baby stay healthy and happy. As always, be sure to talk to your OB, doctor or midwife about any dietary concerns you have during pregnancy.
