To eat or not to eat – foods to avoid during pregnancy?

Q: I realise some of the answers this question will recieve will be just rumours and not factually true but i am curious as to what foods shouldnt be eaten or should be eaten in moderation during pregnancy and if those foods differ during different trimesters.I have read that peanuts shouldn’t be eaten at all because they can lead to allergies in the baby. I’ve also heard honey (but havnt heard why), a limit of 2 cups of tea per day, raw eggs and fish, and soft cheese. I’m also not sure about FETA cheese? Is that ok to eat cause i eat a lot.Just want to say these are all things that i have heard and not actually been told by a doctor so for those of you who are pregnant dont skip the honey and peanuts until you have checked with your doc! (and im in Australia, not usa)

A: It’s helpful to remember that when pregnant, all you put into your body can get passed to the baby, so it’s important to eat healthily and avoid alcohol and too much caffiene.Also, you want to avoid anything that could possible give you food posioning, as this could be very dangerous for being you are the baby (that’s things like uncooked egg, soft cheese).It’s hard to remember everything, so I would suggest using your common sense and trying to eat a balanced diet.

feta cheese in spinach pie, pregnant, worried?

Q: I was in the middle of eating huge piece of spinach pie when I remembered something about not being able to eat certain cheeses while pregnant. I looked it up and saw that feta cheese is not safe during pregnancy and might contain listeria which can cause a serious infection, a possible miscarriage, and/or death to both mother and fetus. Now I’m really worried. Should I go to an ER? Has anyone ever ate spinach pie while pregnant and been fine? From now on I will not eat anything unless I am absolutely sure that it is safe to eat.

A: don’t worry about it. listeria is killed by pasteurization, which is basically cooking it. since it was cooked into the pie, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. i hope it was good!good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
