Over the counter food - Avoid canned, tinned or prepackaged foods. Many of them can have Salmonella or other bacteria. Even hotdogs and burgers bought from vendors can cause diseases.
Cheese - Cheeses with strong odors and soft texture are more prone to causing illness. They may be home to various bacteria that grow in moist conditions. Avoid soft cheeses.
Fish - Do not eat fish raw. In many areas, fish may be contaminated by mercury. Mercury can damage the nervous system of the baby. You may need to talk to doctors and health officials to know which fish in your neighborhood stores are uncontaminated.
Artificial sweeteners - No studies have been done on the effect of artificial sweeteners on pregnant women. However, it is best to include sweeteners among the foods to avoid while pregnant. If you are weight conscious, try low calorie natural sweeteners like fruit juice.
