Be alert! These foods may bring danger to you and your baby.

Eating safely during pregnancy is very important! The following are several foods that may endanger your health and your baby's health. Be sure to pay attention to them.

Listeria risk

Listeria is a common bacterium, especially in bean sprouts, cold cooked food, smoked seafood, soft cheese and other foods. The risk of infection in pregnant women is as high as 20 times, which may lead to meningitis, septicemia and even stillbirth. It is suggested to choose pasteurized milk, heated cheese and canned cooked food to avoid eating raw aquatic products.

Carefully eat large carnivorous marine fish.

Large carnivorous marine fish such as tuna and swordfish contain a lot of methylmercury, which may affect the motor function and intelligence of infants. Fish at the top of the food chain have high mercury content, so it is better to eat less.

Drink less coffee during pregnancy.

It is not necessary to completely abstain from caffeine during pregnancy, but excessive caffeine may lead to low weight and the risk of miscarriage. It is recommended not to exceed 200mg per day.

Contraceptive candy

For health and baby, control the intake of sweets. High-sugar food not only makes your weight soar, but also may cause gestational diabetes. Stay away from sugary drinks, juices and fried foods.

Stay away from alcohol during pregnancy

Drinking alcohol during pregnancy is harmful to you and your baby. Alcohol may cause fetal malformation and developmental problems. Please stay away from alcohol for the sake of your baby's health.
