Answer
Firstly congratulations on your pregnancy!
As another answerer says, estimates are that 25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. The majority of these occur before 12 weeks gestation. The further your pregnancy progresses the less likely miscarriage becomes. Once you have had a scan and heard the heartbeat, the chance of miscarriage drops to around 3%.
Maybe people consider 12 weeks to be the 'safe' mark as once you get to 12 weeks and have heard the heartbeat, the risk of miscarriage drops again to less than 1%.
Don't read up about it too much (like I did) as this will stress you out at a time when you really don't need extra stress! There are plenty of foods you should avoid, mainly raw or undercooked meats, soft cheese and pate. This link tells you more about foods to avoid during pregnancy.

Answer
It's not so much important what you CAN eat, but what you SHOULDN'T.
Buy some baby books, search online.
Although most foods are safe to eat, some might be problematic during pregnancy. For example, you should avoid or limit your exposure to foods that are more likely to be contaminated with bacteria (such as raw meat and fish), since food-borne infections may cause birth defects or miscarriage. And foods that might contain high levels of mercury (such as certain types of fish) can cause damage to the developing brain of a fetus.
Generally, you should stay away from:
1) Soft, unpasteurized cheeses (often advertised as "fresh") such as feta, goat, Brie, Camembert, blue-veined cheeses, and Mexican queso fresco
2) Unpasteurized milk, juices, and apple cider
3) Raw eggs or foods containing raw eggs, including mousse, tiramisu, raw cookie dough, eggnog, homemade ice cream, and Caesar dressing
4) Raw or undercooked fish (sushi), shellfish, or meats
5) Pâté and meat spreads
6) Processed meats such as hot dogs and deli meats (these should be very well cooked before eating)
7) Fish that may contain high levels of mercury (shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish, and tuna steak). Limited amounts of canned, preferably light, tuna are OK.
Here are a few good links:
(They talk about vitamins, folic acid, caffeine etc)

Of course you CAN eat all these things. It's not like you and the baby will suddenly die if you do..it's just some tips if you want to be really safe. Anything can go wrong whether or not you eat these things.
