Foods to avoid during early pregnancy?

Hi I’m a FTM, just found out I’m a bout 5 weeks pregnant. I haven’t scheduled a doctors appointment but have been trying to be more conscious of foods I eat. But everytime I google something, even if it’s a fruit, there’s a lot of different answers and that causes anxiety. Is it true we should steer away from certain heaty or cooling foods? I have stopped drinking coffee or tea, and started taking my fish oils and multivits. #pregnancy #FTM

My private gynae told me to just avoid smoking and alcohol. The rest all okay. But then I also abit skeptical la. So common things like caffeine, “cooling” food all these I also cut down. Instead of googling, I just check on Asian parent app since it’s more customised to Asians unlike google. Although my gynae say no food restrictions (other than smoking & alcohol), I also cut down caffeine, raw egg, soft boil egg, “cooling” food. And avoid left over food, uncooked meat/sashimi.

I hear it is even okay to eat sashimi but eat in moderation and only if you know it is from a trusted source and definitely clean. Steak can eat.
