The foods and beverages you have in your menu may influence how healthy you and your baby will be. Avoid the products mentioned below during pregnancy. Whether you are a diabetic or a healthy individual, some certain foods and drinks should still be avoided.

Exclude them from your menu if you do not want to do harm to yourself and your child. 

Caffeine

Pregnancy is often accompanied by a feeling of fatigue. If you feel tired during pregnancy, do not try to restore by drinking caffeinated drinks. Caffeine is the substance that can cross the placenta. No more than 200mg of caffeine per day is allowed during pregnancy (which is 2 cups of coffee or 3 cups of tea).

Undercooked Meats, Shellfish, Raw Fish

Raw shellfish and fish are not recommended during pregnancy. Before you consume these products, cook them well. The internal temperature should not be lower than 145 degrees. Use a special device (meat thermometer) to make sure that the heat is appropriate. All kinds of raw meats are not advised. The same rule applies to raw poultry. Pregnant women should not snack on raw lunch meat and hot dogs, either. Cook the products until steaming. Eggs must be cooked hard at all times. Meat spreads and pates can be eaten only if they are canned.
