Alyyyyyy
what food and drinks should i stay away from while im pregnant?
Answer
FIsh that high in mecury...Swordfish, shark, tilefish, king mackerel, limit canned albacore tuna fish. Fish caught in rivers, lakes and streams...Raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood (like raw oysters, clams, sushi), and eggs. Hot dogs and luncheon meats unless they have been steamed very very hot. Unpasteurized dairy foods. Unpasteurized juices. Raw vegetable sprouts, including alfalfa, clover, radish, and mung bean. Herbal supplements and teas. Herbs are natural, but herbal products have not been studied enough to recommend them during pregnancy. Certain foods that cause food allergy. Depending on your family history, your child may be at risk for developing food allergies. Avoiding foods including peanuts and peanut products during pregnancy (and nursing) may reduce allergy risk in susceptible children. CONGRATS!!!

can you eat hot dogs during your pregnancy?
A monkey,
20 weeks pregnant, I was just wondering if it ok to eat hot dogs during pregnancy. We cook them on the BBQ so i think it should be ok and I had about 3 during my whole pregnancy.
Answer
Eating 3 shouldn't be a problem its more if you eat it every day. I found this list of foods to avoid. I hope its helps.
What foods are best avoided in pregnancy?
Avoid chilled or uncooked seafood products which can often carry bacteria harmful to your baby.
The same applies to other chilled, pre-cooked meat products such as chicken or ham as well as stored salads and unpasteurised milk.
Soft cheeses made from pasteurised milk are safe to eat, however try to avoid foreign cheeses which use unpasteurised milk.
Raw/rare beef and poultry should also be avoided because of the risk of exposure to potentially harmful bacteria such as Salmonella.
Avoid raw eggs or food containing raw egg (homemade mayonnaise) to reduce the risk of Salmonella poisoning.
Excessive liver intake can increase your risk to vitamin A toxicity. Unfortunately the same applies for pate.
All fresh foods should be washed thoroughly before eating.
Alcohol consumption at any level is unsafe, hence it should be avoided.
Limit or avoid caffeinated beverages such as tea and coffee (especially in the first trimester where miscarriage is more common). If you have to have that coffee fix, limit it to 1 cup a day (heavy intake has been shown to affect a babyâs growth and development).
Also keep an eye on drinks high in sodium, such as many sports drinks.
Keeping well hydrated is also important, so again try to avoid tea and coffee where possible and ensure you drink plenty of water.
Foods high in sugar (fizzy drinks or undiluted fruit juices), unhealthy fats (French fries, cakes or chocolate) and salt (potato chips or pre-packaged noodles or stock) should all be eaten in moderation i.e. have them as treats.
Fish high in mercury such as shark, swordfish, kink mackerel, fresh tuna, sea bass should be eaten in moderation to avoid development delay and brain damage associated with mercury poisoning.
Australia and New Zealand are generally thought of safe fishing areas. However consider the origin of seafood that you buy, as many regions such as parts of Asia may have issues with water quality.
Fish oil is commonly known to be beneficial in pregnancy, however more is not necessarily better. Always be guided by directions on labels or from your health care professional.
