7 Foods to Avoid During Pregnancy (And Why)

🚨 Pregnancy Foods to Avoid! 🚨

Pregnancy makes you more vulnerable to foodborne illnesses, so let’s talk about what to skip to keep you and baby safe! ⬇️

❌ Raw & undercooked foods – Rare meat, sushi, & unpasteurized eggs can harbor harmful bacteria. Stick to fully cooked options!
❌ Deli meats & soft cheeses – Can carry listeria! Heat up deli meats & choose pasteurized cheeses.
❌ High-mercury fish – Avoid swordfish & shark. Instead, go for wild-caught salmon, sardines, or shrimp (up to 12 oz/week).
❌ Raw sprouts & unwashed produce – Wash well or cook sprouts to avoid bacteria.

Stay safe & healthy, mama! ❤️ #PregnancyTips #HealthyPregnancy
