Things NOT to eat When Pregnant

What NOT to eat When Pregnant:

1. Unwashed Fruits/Veggies
2. Self-service salad bars or packages salads, such as coleslaw and pasta salad.
3. Soft-serve ice-cream and thick-shakes
4. any foods or drinks that contain raw egg.
5. Smoked Seafood
6. Unpasteurized Milk: boil milk before use.
7. Soft Cheese: such as brie, camembert, fetta, cottage and ricotta.
8. Skip Under-cooked Meat:
9. Raw Cookie Dough:
10. Fresh Pre-Stuffed Poultry: 
11. Raw Sprouts:  All types of sprouts, such as alfalfa sprouts, broccoli sprouts, onion sprouts, sunflower sprouts, radish sprouts, snowpea sprouts, mungbeans and soybeans (raw or cooked) are also best avoided.
    check sandwiches to make sure they don’t contain raw sprouts. At home, cook sprouts thoroughly to destroy any bacteria.
12. Mercury in fish: Fish is a great food for pregnancy and breastfeeding mothers but be careful which fish you choose. While some fish contain Omega 3 fatty acid - important for the development of the central nervous system in babies, before and after they are born - other fish may contain mercury levels that can affect the development of your baby's nervous system, leading to delayed speech and movement.
    Women who are already pregnant, or planning to become pregnant within the next six months, should avoid fish with high levels of mercury, such as shark, swordfish, orange roughy, gemfish, ling, southern bluefin tuna and barramundi. [Source: http://www.kidspot.com.au]
13. Liver. Although liver is a rich source of iron, it also contains high levels of vitamin A - something which, in excess, can be harmful to a developing baby. Liver should only be consumed in small amounts during pregnancy (a maximum of 50g per week). [Source: http://www.kidspot.com.au]
14. Wash hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water, then dry them, before and after handling food.
