What Not To Eat Before And During Pregnancy?
Hello Everyone!
I know you're not supposed to eat takeaways and certain cheeses but there are a load of other stuff that I don't know about! Does anyone know the ins and outs of this? )

The liver thing and mercury things are ones to stick to though, as they contain stuff that can harm a foetus.
I will definitely avoid liver products and unpasteurised cheeses, and I don't take caffeine or eat more than two portions of fish in a week anyway.
Re the food poisoning issue, your body's defences are lowered when pg as they are protecting the baby, hence you are more likely to get food poisoning from these foods that before.

Im not sure but i think I can remember that you cant eat soft ice cream? xxx
on my 3rd pregnancy and have had takeaways with all of them with no problems? obv, some can give a funny tummy, but typical stay away from them any way.
I also have a lot of sushi and shop bought ready fish, mostly cook mussels and prawns.
some food is worth avoiding, i.e raw meets, raw eggs, and too much tuna, shark/ marlin, but don't get too hung up on food, you'll want the bad stuff even more.
Hope that helps particularly if you have a craving for Chicken Tikka or beef in black bean sauce.
Compeletly off pregnancy topic but never re-heat take away rice. Can give nasty food poisoning (bacillus cereus) surprised me as rice seems such an innocent thing
i dont drink anyway or drink coffee and went off tea at 5 wks and drink decaf anyway.
i do occasionall buy ready sandwhiches at supermarkets kept in fridge as i no they stoke them daily,my gp said this was fine as they be made with pasturised mayo and that as these days it rare not too. i think we can drive ourself nutts with do and donts,im just being sensible really
