Foods to avoid during early pregnancy?

Congrats! Google is scary! I avoided caffeine until 2nd tri , my gynae also said just avoid too. I would also check the app too. Oh and herbal things I also just avoid. I did cave in and took soft boiled eggs once or twice and ate sashimi once in japan… but mostly avoided these and didn’t have steak too cos I like it medium rare. it’s your comfort level and whether it’s from a reputable place or not :) I have a friend who took soft boiled eggs and ate medium steak often when she was pregnant. I would say first tri just to be safe avoid anything possibly “risky”. I even just avoided grass jelly/ cold drinks etc cooling things but I have friends who still drank cold water every day

My private gynae told me to just avoid smoking and alcohol. The rest all okay. But then I also abit skeptical la. So common things like caffeine, “cooling” food all these I also cut down. Instead of googling, I just check on Asian parent app since it’s more customised to Asians unlike google. Although my gynae say no food restrictions (other than smoking & alcohol), I also cut down caffeine, raw egg, soft boil egg, “cooling” food. And avoid left over food, uncooked meat/sashimi.

Caffeine is fine - you can Google the max amount of caffeine you can have a day. Tea contains caffeine too and diff tea has diff caffeine level. Sashimi is fine only if it’s from reputable place - assuming they’re more “safe” and “hygienic”. The impt thing is you do not want to get food poisoning, salmonella, bacteria infection etc from all these raw / semi cooked food

Hello! Congrats to you! 😊 I avoided coffee throughout but still drink tea in moderation! Coffee has high caffeine from what I have heard. I also avoided raw food like sashimi, half cooked food like steak, soft boiled eggs. No alcohol. Cut down my sugar intake like bubble tea. Don’t forget to take folic acid too! This is very important for your baby during trimester one 😁

I read best is to avoid caffeine during first trimester so I have been avoiding it for now. Avoid any herbal food or drinks. Cannot eat raw food also. For fruits, papaya is definitely a NO. I read drinking cold water is fine as it will become body temperature when we drink it down. It will not affect fetus. Now weather too hot so I'm always craving for cold water too.

Congrats! Just avoid raw food, alcohol and herbal stuff (e.g. dang gui, ginseng). Anything else will be fine to eat as long as it’s in moderation. Don’t forget to take folic acid too!

First trimester take folic acid, no need fish oil yet.. second trimester then start fish oil :) I still drank tea during pregnancy, no side effects. Most importantly be happy, for a happy baby!

My gynae told me that you can only consume multivitamins after week 12, as too much vitamin A is not good for baby in the first trimester

1 cup of coffee a day is ok! - I still take them! My gynae who’s also expecting does that too so I feel more assured lol

I avoided all the cold and “cooling” food
