¿Estás embarazada? ¿Le preocupa qué alimentos evitar?

Nuestra recomendación número 1 de Moms Across America es comer 100% orgánico. Comprométase a proporcionar alimentos libres de toxinas a su bebé durante el embarazo y la lactancia. Ahora es el momento de pensar en "tratar" a usted y a su bebé con fresas orgánicas saludables en lugar de helados convencionales, alimentos nutritivos fermentados en lugar de chips procesados y muchas verduras de hoja verde en lugar de alimentos fritos. Puedes hacerlo. Su bebé se lo agradecerá (bueno, en realidad no), pero se sentirá mejor y la salud de su bebé probablemente será mejor ... lo que lo llevará a dormir mejor y a tener días más felices por venir.
Nuestros amigos en Modo infantil he compilado una gran lista para evitar otros alimentos. Esperamos que este recurso sea de valor para usted y que tenga un embarazo saludable y feliz.

FOOD TO AVOID DURING PREGNANCY

Welcome to the wonderful journey of pregnancy. This is an amazing time to learn all about your growing baby. You’ll go through many changes during pregnancy including your eating habits. During your pregnancy, you have to be aware of what you can and cannot eat to keep your growing baby safe. We’ve made a list of foods you need to avoid while you are pregnant.

High-Mercury Fish

High-mercury fish like shark and swordfish can cause serious developmental issues for your baby if you consume it. Low-mercury fish is safe to consume like canned tuna, but limit consuming it only twice a week.

Undercooked or Raw Fish

Undercooked or raw fish like oysters and clams can be riddled with Vibrio, Salmonella, and Listeria. These bacteria can cause miscarriage, premature labor, developmental issues for your baby, or stillbirth.

Undercooked, Raw, & Processed Meats

Just like undercooked or raw fish, undercooked and raw meats can be contaminated with infections like Salmonella, E.coli, and Listeria. Processed meats like hot dogs, lunch meat, and deli meat can be contaminated as well. They are only safe to consume once heated until steaming hot.

Raw Eggs

Foods like homemade ice cream, salad dressings, and poached eggs should not be eaten because they contain raw eggs. Raw eggs can be contaminated with Salmonella which can cause premature labor or stillbirth.

Unpasteurized Milk, Cheese, & Fruit Juice

Eating or drinking anything unpasteurized is dangerous even while you are not pregnant. It is best to avoid unpasteurized items because they can contain Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. Unpasteurized foods to avoid include soft cheeses and juice from fruit stands and restaurants.

Unwashed Produce

Unwashed produce can be contaminated with bacteria like E.coli and Salmonella. Always wash all fruits and vegetables you want before consuming.

Processed Junk Food

Processed junk food is harmful for your body even when you aren’t pregnant. Stick to organic foods to insure the safety or your health and your baby’s health.

Caffeine

Caffeine got you through your tough days. But during your pregnancy, you need to reduce your caffeine intake to 2-3 cups of coffee per day. Caffeine can reduce fetal growth and birth weight.

Alcohol

Alcohol needs to be avoided at all times during your pregnancy. Drinking alcohol can cause fetal alcohol syndrome, miscarriage, and stillbirth.
