Avoid raw or undercooked meat during pregnancy. Sushi and similar foods may contain harmful bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. Cook thoroughly to protect your baby.
Avoid raw sprouts like alfalfa, clover, and radish during pregnancy, especially if obese, due to bacteria risk. Opt for cooked sprouts instead.
Avoid unpasteurized dairy like raw milk and cheese during pregnancy to reduce risk of harmful bacteria like Listeria. Choose pasteurized for safety.
During pregnancy, limit or avoid processed foods high in sugars, fats, and preservatives. Opt for fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins instead.
Avoid alcohol during pregnancy, especially with maternal obesity, to prevent birth defects, developmental issues, and lifelong disabilities for your child.
