you should avoid eating raw meat, deli meat, fish with mercury, smoked seafood, fish exposed to industrial pollutants, raw shellfish, raw eggs, soft cheeses, unpasteurized milk, pate, caffeine, alcohol and unwashed vegetables.

Thank you. Do you know anything about peanuts? I hurd you areant suposed to eat those either...?

penuts and any nuts in general you should stay away from because they can cause food allergies to the baby

yes avoid peanuts aswell. babies are very prone to allergies. i researched the internet and didnt find anything on peanuts, but my midwife always said to avoid them

yeah i didnt even know you shouldnt eat penuts?! until about 1 weeks when my DR told me NO
so sad because honey roasted penuts are so good

alos try not to eat deli meats
no hot dogs ok?
no shelfish (ewww anyway who wants to eat shelfish)

eat LOTS of veggies and fruits
try to stay away from all caffiene
dont die your hair
and take your vitamins

oh and also you may want to eat lots of yogurt and calcium enriched foods too. to help with strong bones!

with caffeine, it says avoid it, but you can drink it in moderation, like alcohol. a small amount wont hurt the baby

im a caffeine addict

which is bad

but when i got pregnant and had my craveing thing start to kick in i had no desire to touch starbucks or soda at all its funny how your body thows out foods and stuff when your preg
that you used to love or hate. lol


like....burg....burger king (cant even think about it now it makes me wanna choke)

I ate alot of peanuts/cashews/ and almonds for the last phew weeks. I was a bit worried I could have hurt my baby.

yeah but the strangest thing is the things i craved when i was prgnant william loves!

nah your fine
its just best not to eat them
your baby is just a tiny ball right now

LOL I KNOW!! It probably looks like a peanut! I found this really cool site were you type in your last period and this little bubble pops ip with what your baby looks like and it changes with you so everytime you look at its changing like your baby.

I ate peanuts, cashews, etc during my entire pregnancy. My OB never advised against it and my son is perfectly healthy. As a matter of fact I went into an appointment eating peanuts and she never said a thing.

Stay away from freshwater fish, shark, swordfish, or basically any large fish. If you are going to eat tuna, stay away from albocore tuna. Light tuna is ok once a week. Salmon is very good for you, lots of Omegas which supports healthy brain and eye development in your baby.

Take your vitamins and drink loads of water.

Thank you.

Don't drink alcohol or allow anyone to smoke around you. Don't eat raw meat such as sushi or undercooked poultry. Limit your caffiene intake (a bit is fine) and remember to drink lots of water.

I ate peanuts through my entire pregnancy, and my daughter has no allergy to them yet. Peanuts are very nutritious: they contain protein, fiber, and vitamin e. Get them lightly salted, though... watch your sodium intake.

Lots of fresh fruit and veggies, lots of water (can't stress water enough), and lean meats. Snack on grapes, nuts, and lightly salted popcorn. And remember to do some light exercise, like walking or swimming.

Dyeing your hair is okay, as long as you're in a well-ventilated area.

A 4 week old embryo is the size of an appleseed.

DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL!!! Everything you eat, at least 99.9% of it, passes through the placenta to your baby. That's why if you eat curry, your baby will like spicy things, because your baby can taste it (yes, they use all of their senses in the womb).

I'm with Mommy35, my doc said nothing is wrong with peanuts, so next time I go shopping, I'm stocking up on cashews (omg I can't get enough of them!)

caffeine is a whole different story... tea and coffee contain phenols, which basically block the absorbtion of iron. You shouldn't have more than 300mg, if any. So that's about 2 or 3 cups (8 oz) of coffee. Tea on the other hand, has 10mg per 8oz, but is still not a good idea to drink during a meal.

Try to avoid anything raw (sushi, eggs, eggnog) and anything unpasturized, that includes most soft cheeses. Repeating some people again, deli meats (and YES that includes hot dogs). Fish high in mercury, which include shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish. You should also not eat fish more than twice a week.

Liver is of course high in vitamin A, but too much is bad for your baby. So again, try to avoid it.

And last but not least, of course, don't eat anything that you (duh) or your partner are allergic to! Chances are more if you are allergic to something, so is your unborn baby.

Thank you for reading this LONG paragraph, but I hope it helped, these are basically the guidelines I'm going by..

Good Luck everyone!

thats it

im going to buy some penuts!!!!

Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables (washed of course). Woole grains, cereals, breads, brown rice, dairy products, such as milk, cheese (real - not the processed) cottage cheese,yogart, skinless chicken breast, turkey, lean fat- trimmed beef (once a week), eggs, pork roast, dried beans such as pintos, navy beans and black eyed peas, real butter use all fats sparingly!

NO NO::::Excessive sweets, salty fatty, greasy chips. Cokes, carbonated beverages, raw oysters, sardines, tuna, undercooked eggs, hot hot hot spicey foods,
this is what I could remember........................hope it helps!

i eat alot of sweets and candy. not every day but when i get a craveing it gets bad
im stuck on airheads lol
i know its not healthy but i still eat them...and chps too
