Although fish is good for you and your baby, some fish and seafood, like older or larger fish, can be high in mercury. Try to consume fish in moderation and avoid fish like shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish. You should also stay away from any kind of raw, undercooked or contaminated seafood, meat, poultry or eggs. It’s always a good idea to ask your healthcare provider about any specific foods you personally may need to steer clear of.

Pregnant women should limit their caffeine intake to 200 mg per day, which is about 2–3 cups of coffee. High caffeine intake during pregnancy can affect fetal growth and cause low birth weight.

Also, don't eat mould-ripened soft cheese (cheeses with a white rind) such as brie and camembert. This includes mould-ripened soft goats' cheese, such as chèvre. These cheeses are only safe to eat in pregnancy if they've been cooked.

Avoid all types of pâté, including vegetable pâtés, as they can contain listeria.

Pre-prepared or pre-packaged fruit or vegetable salads, including those from buffets and salad bars, also have a higher risk of listeria contamination.

High mercury fish
Mercury is a highly toxic element. It has no known safe level of exposure and is most commonly found in polluted water.
In higher amounts, it can be toxic to your nervous system, immune system and kidneys. It may also cause serious developmental problems in children, with adverse effects even in lower amounts.
Since it’s found in polluted seas, large marine fish can accumulate high amounts of mercury. Therefore, it’s best to avoid high mercury fish while pregnant and breastfeeding.
High-mercury fish you want to avoid include:
shark
swordfish
king mackerel
tuna (especially bigeye tuna)
marlin
tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico
orange roughy
