Today I want to talk to you about many foods that are appropriate to avoid during pregnancy as it can be detrimental to the development of the baby and
Although it is true that there are many foods that you should avoid in your pregnancy, that does not mean that you can eat a balanced diet and also very healthy during the nine months that your pregnancy lasts. Remember that it is very important that your diet is adequate to provide your baby with all the nutrients and vitamins it needs to grow, but it is also essential for you to be healthy and with enough energy every day.
Meat and fish
The liver is not safe to eat during pregnancy as it has high levels of retinos (vitamin A) which can be harmful to the baby. Meats other than liver are safe to eat as long as they are well cooked not pink or bloody. Avoid eating grilled or undercooked meats.
There are many foods you can eat during pregnancy
It is better not to eat cured meats due to the small risk of listeriosis, such as Serrano ham. In addition, the pate can also contain the listeria bacteria so it is better not to eat it.
As for the fish you will have to avoid eating raw fish or raw shellfish as they can cause food poisoning. Smoked salmon is safe to eat in pregnancy, as the curing process destroys the listeria bacteria. On the other hand, if it is not completely cured, it is better that you freeze it before eating it and then cook it. If you want to have smoked salmon, you will have to buy it from a reliable source such as the supermarket.
El blue fish is good for you and your baby as it has many vitamins, minerals and proteins. But fatty fish can also contain environmental pollutants so it is best eaten with little frequency and always very well cooked.
Other fish and shellfish can have similar dioxin levels as oily fish, so you will have to limit the consumption of the following fish and shellfish: sea bream, turbot, halibut, dogfish, crab and sea bass.
Shark, swordfish or mackerel are better not to eat because they have dangerous levels of mercury. Tuna contains some mercury as well, so don't eat a lot a week.
Unpasteurized foods
Meals unpasteurized you should also avoid them, such as some types of milk, some types of cheese (brie, feta, Camembert, roquefort, white cheese, fesco cheese, pâtés, fish such as salmon or tuna, etc.) These foods can contain high levels of the bacteria listeria. Listeria can cause an infection called listeriosis that can harm the baby.
Unpasteurized milk
Unpasteurized milk is more likely to contain bacteria and cause food poisoning. However, as for hard cheeses like Parmesan, even if it has been made with unpasteurized milk, they are safe to eat as the risk of listeriosis in them is low.
Eggs
You will have to avoid eating raw eggs as they may contain salmonella bacteria. However, eggs that contain the quality seal are less likely to contain them since they come from hens vaccinated against salmonella. But to be safe I advise you to cook the eggs until the yolks are hard as this destroys the salmonella bacteria.
Never eat mousse, homemade ice cream, or fresh mayonnaise in restaurants because may contain raw egg. However, toppings from supermarkets or ice creams often have pasteurized eggs, so they are safe to eat.
Unpasteurized juices
Unpasteurized juices can contain germs that can harm you, so before consuming a juice of this type, make sure it is pasteurized.
Raw leafy or root vegetables
The vast majority of raw vegetables are foods rich in nutrients, but they must be well washed to consume them and much better if they are cooked.
Herbal supplements and infusions
Herbs are natural so they have not been studied enough to recommend them during pregnancy.
Caffeine from coffee and tea
The amount of caffeine in a pregnant woman limited to 200 milligrams of caffeine per dayBut caffeine crosses the placenta and can affect your baby's heart rate, so I advise you to avoid it altogether. Is the green tea and breastfeeding?
Alcohol
It does not matter the type or the amount. The alcohol causes irreparable damage to the brain of the fetus.
Water
The water has to be good qualityIf the water in your city is not good you will have to drink it in bottles of mineral water without gas to avoid bacteria and viruses.
Fruit salt in pregnancy
In pregnancy it is normal to feel discomfort and more, when we talk about heartburn and burning problems. As a general rule, when a meal does not suit us quite well, we are very given to taking fruit salt. But, can I take fruit salt in pregnancy? Without a doubt, you should always consult a doctor before consuming certain products. But fruit salt is contraindicated for pregnant women. They can raise blood pressure and as such, be the cause of bigger problems.
There are many women who suffer heartburn while pregnant. Above all, it will be much more noticeable in the second and third trimesters since it will be here when the uterus puts more pressure on our stomach. Although we are not all the same and it is likely that in other cases it will be noticed much earlier. Burning, both in the chest area and in the throat can begin in the third month of pregnancy. Of course, it is an uncomfortable situation and if at another time we would resort to fruit salt, in this case it is better than not.
If you would like to prevent heartburnIt is always better to turn to other remedies before taking certain medications. After having eaten, you can lie down or simply lie down for at least an hour. Also, try not to bend down after eating, or make big movements that can affect us. In addition, you should avoid sauces and condiments that can always feel a little heavier. Forget carbonated drinks but yes you should hydrate wellAlthough it is always better to drink in small sips and of course, drink milk that will control the acidity. Although always if there are no other problems involved.
So when you think about the fruit salt in pregnancy, you have to remember that it really is a drug and that it is not indicated for you. But there are other healthier alternatives for this time of your life. You just have to consult with your doctor and you will see how it will help you cope with this problem.
Remember something very important
If you contaminate yourself with salmonella and other disease-transmitting bacteria, the bacteria can cause mild adult symptoms such as vomiting, fever, and diarrhea. But for a pregnant woman, they can lead to a miscarriage, fetal death or premature delivery.
To eliminate bacterial contamination (also toxoplasmosis) it is necessary that freeze all meats and fish in the freezer at least -40ºC and then you cook them at a temperature higher than 150 ° C. If you go to a restaurant you will have to ask for the meat well done and if they do little, return the plate and have it done better, your health and that of your baby is at stake!
Also remember wash all fruits and vegetables very well before eating them.
These are some abortifacient foods that you have to take into consideration during your pregnancy in order to have good health and, above all, that your baby grows strong and healthy. Remember that everything you eat passes through the placenta to your baby, so you have to take extreme precautions in all things to eat, such as stop eating sushi.
Do you know more foods that you can not eat during pregnancy?

Hi Edith,
Eating a lot of lemon is not bad at all. Even sometimes I used to chew a little of them raw, I love them. The only problem it could bring you is heartburn. If you have heartburn, if you suffer from it, you should not consume many citrus fruits of any kind until the symptoms disappear. If you don't have heartburn now, chances are you will have it around your 6-7 months from now, it comes and goes. It will be these months that you have to take care of yourself with citrus and caffeine. If you get heartburn, just have a glass of warm milk. Have a nice day.

Hello,
First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy! On the diet with which you follow a healthy and balanced diet it will be enough, increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables. The foods that you should not consume are:
- Large fish: such as swordfish or mackerel, because they contain large amounts of mercury.
- Raw sprouts: like soybeans or radishes, on the other hand cooked there is no problem.
- Sausages and raw meats: because they can cause listeria.
- And finally caffeine, especially during the first 3 months of pregnancy because it can cause fetal growth retardation, low birth weight and increases the risk of miscarriage (according to studies published by the British Medical Journal).
Take good care of yourself and enjoy your pregnancy!
regards
Hi, I'm from Peru, my wife is pregnant, she's 6 weeks pregnant but she suffers from gastritis, what fruits and vegetables should I eat?
Thank you
Hi, Pablo,
For gastritis, whether pregnant or not, it is recommended not to consume hot spices, vinegar, chocolate, coffee, alcohol, fried foods, acidic or fatty foods. As for vegetables, celery or onion for example are not recommended.
Greetings and congratulations on the pregnancy!
Hi, I'm Amy and I would like to know what kind of symptoms indicate a pregnancy and how can I know if I am pregnant, I am a month late and I do not dare to go to a doctor.
Hello, my name is Laura, I am pregnant, I am 3 and a half months pregnant, I would like you to help me, what foods can I eat? I suffer from high blood pressure, they removed my gallbladder and I suffered for a year from pangreatitis and I don't know what to eat, please help me, thank you. regards
Hello Laura,
In your case, it is better that you consult a nutritionist to indicate the most suitable diet for you. The issue of high blood pressure should be controlled because it could cause premature labor, simply relax and eat foods that help you maintain it, generally those that contain omega3 such as salmon.
Greetings and congratulations on your pregnancy
Hello, I have 34 weeks now, and I have felt a lot, but a lot of pain, a friend told me that the nickname hurts the baby and that is why my belly becomes hard and it hurts like a tear, the doctors have ignored my comments, I hope if you can help me with the diet that should not be eaten so that it does not swell the baby
Thank you very much and greetings to all future moms !!!!!!!!
Hi, I'm about 7 weeks pregnant and I really like spicy food that makes my baby sick.
Not your baby, but you may feel upset stomach since nausea and vomiting are frequent in these first months. At the end of pregnancy, you could also get stomach discomfort due to the heartburn that usually appears in this last stage.
Do not forget that in Chile you cannot eat tuna, even if it is in a jar since it contains too much mercury, which has irreparable consequences for the baby ... this problem is due to the fact that there are thermoelectric plants on the Chilean coasts where the tuna is extracted and their waste contaminates this fish.
regards
Thanks for the input! 🙂
I really liked there but I love how spicy hehehe and it seems that I should not abuse buuu
If it doesn't hurt, go ahead with the spicy! But believe me, they are not very favorable when suffering symptoms such as nausea or heartburn 😉
Hello, I am new to this, that is, I am 37 years old and this is my first pregnancy, I try to read everything I can, to inform myself, and it has served me a lot, thank you.
Now I have a question that worries me a lot, they have already told me that it is normal in a pregnant woman, but it scares me sometimes. I am 20 weeks pregnant, I am happy, but I suffer a lot when I have to go to the bathroom, sometimes every 3 days, it hurts and I have to do a lot of strength. It is dangerous for the baby, like many fruits and some vegetables, but what exactly should I eat to help me not suffer in the bathroom.
I thank you with all my heart for your quick response to my email. in advance, many thanks. karin….
Do not worry, constipation does not harm the baby, but you should find solutions so that it does not cause harm to you because for example it can make you go through hemorrhoids and it is painful. Avoid eating foods that make digestion difficult and especially those that worsen constipation such as bananas, apples or rice. You can try to have a glass of warm water and a kiwi in the morning before breakfast, try to regulate your traffic by going to the service about the same time.
Look at me, my gynecologist told me that when I go to the bathroom, or do not use force because that can cause an abortion, then what I do is eat papaya, it helps a lot to go to the bathroom and drink water.
eat prune and fiber like oatmeal is rich in the light morning and helps digestion

Hello, my name is Tania, it is my second pregnancy, the first one I lost it 🙁 but I am very excited and super happy I have 6 months and a week and the first 4 months were many symptoms km I vomit, nausea and cravings jiji aunk sometimes those symptoms are annoying The most beautiful and I would not change them for anything… .chikas enjoy your pregnancy 🙂
Hello, I am in my second pregnancy, I am three months old and it has not been very good since I am at rest due to placental detachment, I wanted to know what foods I can consume without swelling, I have not eaten any sweet things that make me nauseous, hahaha Only salty, but I eat anything and I don't know what to do, fruit salt is bad, and lemon is harmful.
It is normal to inflate a little after eating when you rest, especially at night is when you can swell the most, I tell you from experience, I have had to go through the same thing but not for the same reason 😉 Avoid eating too heavy, the better Make small portions even if you have to eat more times, but this will facilitate digestion. Do not eat foods such as rice or bananas, constipation is common in pregnancy and with rest it worsens even more. Also avoid foods that give gas like cabbage or cauliflower and drink plenty of water to avoid fluid retention. Lucky! 😉

Hello, good afternoon, I am pregnant and I have just turned 5 months old, I would like to know if I can sometimes eat tomato sauce that I like in spaghetti when I prepare them, the homemade shawarma that I also add a little "tomato sauce" and I also put "mustard" in the preparation.
The other if I can use pepper on meat or chicken.
And in the fruits that taste like pineapple, lemon, pin, melon ... .. are they advisable?
Hi! Everything you name you can take without problems, none of that is harmful, the only thing that maybe acidic foods (such as tomato or pineapple) can cause heartburn (Heartburn) and that will be uncomfortable for you. The melon is very advisable because it contains folic acid and it will also help you in case of constipation.

Hello, my sister-in-law is 5 weeks old and is a newcomer and the doctor forbade her to eat tomato and onion and it seems strange to me, will it be bad ???????? Thank you ….
I had never heard of something like this, in fact I have not stopped eating tomatoes and onion and I am in my 37th week of pregnancy (the baby is healthy and everything is fine). Perhaps he has told you for something in particular, such as if you suffer from heartburn or something like that.

Nausea usually disappears in the second trimester of pregnancy, although each pregnancy is a world and there are those for whom it lasts longer or lasts less.

Hello: I am 19 weeks pregnant, and although almost since the beginning of my pregnancy I have craved eating sausages a lot, I have avoided them because I read that it can harm my baby, but I have a doubt, I have been boiling the veal hot dogs that They are the ones that they like the most, in order to eat them, I wanted to know if even boiled they can affect my baby. Or is it okay to eat them like this, I need your help to cope with the cravings. It is urgent. Thanks for your reply.
I understand that by "leafy or root vegetables," followed by the mention of radish and alfalfa, they are referring to young shoots. The thing about sprouts, foods with a fantastic supply of vitamins, is that it can be difficult to wash them well. To say that "this type of food is not a good option for pregnant women or for anyone" is supine nonsense. You should review the scientific literature on this before you panic.

You will have to go to your doctor and have him do an analysis, because folic acid is important but if you lack any vitamin, your doctor should assess it. Greetings!
