Foods to avoid during early pregnancy?

I’ve just found out I’m about 5 weeks pregnant and have yet to schedule a doctors appointment, but I’m trying to be more careful with foods that I eat. I’ve stopped drinking coffee / tea, but googling foods and even fruits gives a lot of differing answers that causes anxiety.. do doctors really recommend against heaty or cooling foods? Do I need to be this wary ? I do naturally have a “weaker” body in TCM terms which is why I’m extra anxious. Thank you fellow mummies #pregnancy #FTM

I also have a “weak body” according to my tcm doc and was told to not consume fruits, fried, cold and spicy food even before I was pregnant. However I had bad nausea and food aversion in first tri, so i just ate what i could (lot of fruits, yoghurt, salad). At 4mths i went back to “tiao” my body. I start to gain back my appetite abt wk16 and then i try to reduce my intake of cold stuff. Don’t worry so much.
