Is this true I'm 16 weeks and I'm so worried.. Why the hell has no one told me about this they've just watched me eat it? my This is my first pregnancy I'm 18 and all I've been told is to not drink, smoke get in hot tubs, saunas , hot baths.. I live with my dad and my brothers so they don't know I try to look up as much as I can on the internet but one site will say it's ok and another will say it's not so it's not much help.. So does anyone have a list of harmful things while pregnant or Just anything would help thanks
Answer
Your brother is giving you incorrect information based on a partial truth.
The truth is that there are some foods which you should avoid during pregnancy because they carry a higher risk of giving you listeria which can be dangerous for your baby.
Foods that should be avoided are sliced cold deli meats (you can eat deli meats that you have cooked such as hot dogs, bacon, etc.), sushi and raw fish, and soft, unpasteurized cheeses.
You can eat hamburger meat that has been cooked. If you'd like to have a sandwich with deli slices, a safer way to eat it is to cook it well in a pan before adding it to your sandwich and just eat a hot sandwich.
You should also not come into contact with outdoor cats or the litter boxes of cats that go outdoors. Cats catch mice which carry toxoplasmosis. If an outdoor cat scratches you (even playfully) or if you get any of their feces on you (like while changing a litter box) then you can contract this disease which is very dangerous to your unborn baby. Housecats that do not go outside are not a risk.
You should also avoid using computers often, especially if they get wifi and avoid spending time on devices with internet capability such as cellphones and iPads. Keep them away from your baby as much as you can. A little bit of regular use shouldn't hurt.
Avoid ultrasound scans as there is ample evidence that they can cause harm. Many organizations suggest only getting ultrasound if a problem is suspected.
Avoid eating large fishes. They are apex predators and contain high levels of mercury. During pregnancy, do not eat marlin, albacore, tuna, sharks or other large fish. Safer fish include salmon, sardines and smaller whitefish.
