Pregnancy diet/food: In terms of diet, eating a healthy diet is important. There are no specific limitations though one should be careful about mercury if consuming lots of fish. Be sure to take a prenatal vitamin with appropriate folic acid and iodine supplementation especially in iodine deficient areas. Intercourse during pregnancy is okay. Obtain and f/u on proper prenatal care. Screen for infection, HTN, diabetes

Pregnancy diet: It is recommended to avoid fish high in mercury (swordfish, tilefish, mackerel, shark). Avoid raw or undercooked seafood and undercooked meat and poultry. Avoid unpasteurized foods/dairy products. Limit caffeine intake to 200mg per day. Also avoid herbal teas and alcohol. Keep a balanced diet and remember to enjoy foods in moderation. Good luck and enjoy your pregnancy!
