Food to avoid and not avoid during pregnancy?

My gynae advise me to only avoid the following: - alcohol - excessive coffee or tea (a bit is fine) - raw uncooked or partially cooked meats - uncooked vegetables unless they are prepared well due to fears of hygiene issue - deep ocean fish like tuna, salmon, cod fish due to possibly mercury poisoning - unpasteurized cheese (soft cheese) For Chinese herbs, try not to eat cordyceps or ginseng stuff…those that enhances blood flow and circulation. I think abit is ok but not regularly eat. May cause miscarriage or a difficult/risky labor Everything else just eat!

for me, i avoid raw meat, alcohol, unpasteurised milk & cheese, dont drink cold drinks during the early pregnancy stage, max 2 cup of coffee/tea, raw veggies unless it's cleanly washed. i also avoid seafood as well whether cooked or not. some says baby will get sensitive skin, others say baby's movement will be very fast after baby learns to crawl and it's dangerous.

took sashimi then realise I'm pregnant 😋so to avoid raw meat, half boil egg, alcohol, cheese, for me salad also. GP told me no papaya. I avoid tea but just had 1 temptation so drank 1 decaff coffee. no Chinese herbs. take less ginger for me cause heard may increase chances of jaundice so I avoid as much as possible.

I avoided Chinese herbs and alcohol, ate everything else including sashimi and cheeses! My general rule of thumb was just to make sure the food comes from safe sources, especially if I’m having raw fish 🙂 Baby is now 28 weeks and growing well!

From my gynae's advice: all Foods that Chinese say "cold" (凉), alcohol, raw beef, tuna (due to high Mercury), raw egg, etc... I always Google before eating certain food if I'm not sure it is safe for pregnant

These are no no: raw food, alcohol, unpasteurised milk or cheese, high mercury type of fish, papaya or pineapple. Chinese herbs also. Other than that, just enjoy whatever food you can savour!

My list is quite short. Alcohol, caffeine and certain raw foods. I still had sashimi from reputable sources 😅

didn't really avoid anything except herb and alcohol can eat everything in moderation my 2 babies are healthy

i only know the usual - no alcohol, no raw meat/fish, no raw eggs, no unpasteurized cheese.

apart from raw food and alcohol, I take everything else in moderation.
