Food to avoid and not avoid during pregnancy?

I'm currently in WK 9 of pregnancy and based in Chinese tradition, it seems that there are lots of food to avoid but I'm not so sure. Need advices on what are the foods to avoid and what not. Hoping mummies to be can share their experiences in this ☺️

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!
