Everything you eat as a pregnant woman is shared with your developing baby during pregnancy. Even if some foods are safe for you to eat or don’t cause you any problems when you eat them, they could be extremely harmful to your child. Limit your intake of alcohol and food that has been out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours, as well as any food that has been exposed to hot weather for more than 1 hour.
Stay away from the following foods;
Meat that has been left raw or that has been left undercooked.
Fishes that have been smoked or that have been eaten raw.
Fish that have been exposed to pollutants from the industrial sector.
Eggs (raw).
Milk from cows that have not been pasteurized: (Raw milk or unpasteurized milk is milk that has not been pasteurized, a process of heating liquid foods to kill pathogens for safe consumption and extending the shelf life).
Shellfish that has been smoked.
Too much caffeine (Caffeine is a chemical that can be found in coffee, tea, cola, guarana, mate, and other products.) Caffeine is most commonly used to boost mental alertness, but it has a variety of other applications).
Teas made from herbs.
Foods in a can.
Foods that are high in sugar.
Foods that are high in saturated fat.
Avoid foods that have been at room temperature for more than two hours, whether they are hot or cold. Bacteria are almost certain to be present.
Avoid the following fruits:
Pineapple.
Pineapple can cause strong uterine contractions, which can lead to a miscarriage. Bromelain is a protein-degrading enzyme found in pineapple.
Bananas.
Women with allergies, diabetes, or gestational diabetes should avoid bananas.
Watermelon.
Consuming watermelon during pregnancy may expose the unborn child to the different poisons that the watermelon removes.
Tamarind.
Because tamarind contains a lot of Vitamin C, it can suppress progesterone production in your body if you eat too much of it. Low progesterone levels can also cause a miscarriage, premature birth, and even cell damage in the fetus.
