5 Foods For Pregnant Women To Avoid
4. Undercooked or raw meat
Do you like your meat raw? Then we suggest that you give up pleasing your taste buds for the next 9 months of your life because undercooked or raw meat are definitely amongst foods that pregnant women should avoid. Besides the possibility of containing Salmonella, these foods may also cause Toxomoplasis. During pregnancy, Toxomoplasis may cause brain damage to your unborn child.
5. Avoid certain types of fish
Fish is an integral part of any healthy diet, including that of a pregnant woman. However, certain fish like Catfish, Swordfish, Broadbill, Sea Perch, Southern Blue Fin Tuna and Deep Sea Perch are known to contain high mercury levels and hence should be avoided by pregnant women. The high mercury levels in these fishes may inhibit the development of your unborn baby.
