Foods To Give Up While Pregnant

Go to town and eat up these foods before you are pregnant

and have to give them up.

Sushi-Raw meat and fish aren’t options for Pregnant women

Oysters-Raw shellfish is a no-no

Soft Cheese-Kiss feta, blue, brie and all soft cheeses good-bye. Listeria can linger in them even when pasteurized. This is a bacterium your adult system can handle, but it can be life-threatening to a fetus.

Peanuts-Some food allergists believe that eating peanuts and peanut butter when pregnant increases the chance of your baby developing allergies. Other nuts are good substitutes.

Deli sandwiches-Sandwich meat needs to be heated to 165 degrees F to kill any possibly harmful bacteria.

Raw or undercooked eggs- Make sure to cook eggs until the yolks are firm, to avoid risk of salmonella. Also avoid food made with raw eggs like key lime pie, hollandaise sauce and chocolate mousse.

Raw meat- underdone meat can contain danerous bacteria

Pate’-All types of pate’, even vergetable can contain Listeria

Refrigerated smoked seafood- This includes lox and whitefish
