What foods/drinks/substances are cautioned against during pregnancy?
Q. I've heard you shouldn't eat lunch meat or salmon, or caffiene..
But any others? (Tobacco, Alcohol, and drugs are obvious)
I'm TTC and I believe it's a good idea to eat/behave the way you would during pregnancy to ensure a healthy start for a baby...
Oh yeah.. I should have mentioned that.. yes.. I've been on prenatals for a week and a half now.

Answer
Foods to avoid during pregnancy:
--Swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tile fish. These fish can contain potentially risky levels of mercury. Mercury can be transferred to the growing fetus and cause serious health problems.
--Raw fish, especially shellfish (oysters, clams)
--Undercooked meat, poultry and seafood. Cook all of them thoroughly to kill bacteria.
--Hot dogs or luncheon meats. Examples are deli meats such as ham, turkey, salami and bologna. If you do eat these foods, reheat them until steaming hot.
--Refrigerated pates or meat spreads. Canned versions are safe.
--Refrigerated smoked seafood unless it has been cooked (as in a casserole). Canned versions are safe.
--Soft-scrambled eggs and all foods made with raw or lightly cooked eggs
--Soft cheeses made with unpasteurized milk. Examples are Brie, feta, Camembert, Roquefort, blue-veined, queso blanco, queso fresco and Panela. Check the label to see what kind of milk was used to make the cheese.
--Unpasteurized milk and any foods made from it
--Unpasteurized juices
--Raw vegetable sprouts, including alfalfa, clover, radish and mung bean
--Herbal supplements and teas
--Do not eat too much liver. It contains high amounts of vitamin A, which can lead to birth defects.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
