Your pregnancy diet has a direct relationship on how healthy you and your baby will be. That doesn’t mean an occasional hamburger and fries will make baby sick, but it does mean you have an important responsibility to eat a nutritious diet.
A pregnancy diet does not have to complicated or expensive. You do need to think carefully about the food choices you make. A consistent diet of junk food, empty calories and caffeinated sodas has risks for both you and baby.
There are also some foods to keep out of your pregnancy diet. The March of Dimes says these foods are not safe to eat during pregnancy:
Raw fish, especially shellfish.
Soft-scrambled eggs and foods made with raw or lightly cooked eggs.
Unpasteurized juices.
Raw sprouts, especially alfalfa sprouts.
Unpasteurized soft cheeses, such as brie, feta, Camembert, Roquefort, queso blanco, queso fresco and Panela.
Unpasteurized milk and any foods made from it.
Herbal supplements and teas.
