Naras Lapsys Dietitian and nutritionist. They may contain listeria or salmonella bacteria, or toxoplasma parasites.
Thorough cooking will kill the bacteria and parasites, though. So eating well-cooked cured meats is fine.

The parasite can also take vital nutrients away from your growing baby," says Dr. Plus, some of the most popular sushi rolls like spicy tuna may contain too-high mercury levels. Bottom line: Skip raw-fish sushi, but rolls made with fully-cooked fish are A-OK.
Sushi made with eel, crab, or anything done tempura-style which means it's been battered and fried is perfectly safe to eat. California rolls also make the go-for-it list, as do veggie rolls, like avocado or cucumber.
Watch Out: There's a slight risk of salmonella and other food-borne illnesses from eggs cooked sunny side up, and from sources of uncooked eggs such as Caesar salad dressing or raw cookie dough.
Also, vomiting or diarrhea that would have just been uncomfortable and annoying before you were pregnant can more easily trigger dehydration now, which has the potential to affect fetal growth and in rare cases can lead to preterm labor. Bottom line: As long as you make sure your eggs are cooked through, it's safe to eat them — and you should! Eggs are a great source of protein and choline, a nutrient that research shows may boost fetal brain development and prevent certain birth defects.
FYI: Most Caesar dressing from the supermarket is not made with raw eggs; it's the kind freshly prepared at restaurants that you should avoid. Watch Out: Some research shows that lots of caffeine considered to be more than two to three cups of coffee a day can raise your risk of miscarriage.
It has also been linked to preterm delivery and low birth weight. A Kaiser Permanente study, for example, found that pregnant women who consumed more than milligrams of caffeine a day had double the miscarriage risk of those who had none. Bottom line: Limit your caffeine intake, but you don't have to cut it out entirely.
Most experts agree that a small cup of coffee or soda or two a day is probably fine. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned or you have a history of miscarriage or preterm labor. The tricky thing is that coffee's potency can vary greatly depending on the beans and how it's brewed.
The cup you get at Starbucks, for example, is likely to be way stronger than the one you'd make at home. As a general rule, an 8-ounce home-brewed cup of java packs about milligrams. Regular tea and caffeinated sodas contain about one-third of this amount per serving. Stay under 10 ounces of regular coffee and 20 ounces of regular tea; anything more should be decaf. Bottom line: Skip Sweet'N Low, but you can use other artificial sweeteners in moderation.
However, while a diet Coke or the packet of Equal you sprinkle into your cereal is probably fine, you don't want to eat and drink the stuff all day long, says Redfern. Watch Out: Some herbs can have medicinal effects just like actual drugs, which is why the FDA and many doctors advise steering clear of certain varieties.
Even though the amount of herbs used in commercial teas isn't believed to be strong enough to cause problems, because the FDA doesn't regulate them, there's no way of knowing exactly how potent they are.
Bottom line: Check your herbal tea ingredient label and ask your doctor if there's anything in it you should avoid. Not all herbs are unsafe during pregnancy — a cup or two of mild mint or fruit-flavored tea is fine, says Dr. So are green and black teas just read labels and watch your caffeine intake.
And stick to known brands to be on the safe side. Watch Out: Piling on those jalapenos can give pregnant women major heartburn , something you're already prone to these days.
While this won't harm your baby, it can feel lousy for you. And women with GERD gastroesophageal reflux disease, a more severe, chronic form of heartburn should take extra care to avoid spicy dishes. Bottom line: If you get heartburn, skip anything spicy; if you don't, indulge away. Just have Tums at the ready when you chow down. If you've heard rumors that things like hot peppers, curries, Tabasco, fiery sauces and the like are thought to bring on labor, ignore them.
