Food is safe: No food is known to cause miscarriage. Avoid alcohol. Take a pre-natal vitamin with folic acid. Anticipate joy.

It is not actually the food itself that can cause miscarriage. There are bacterial and parasitic diseases that can be acquired from foods that can place the pregnancy at risk. For example, toxoplasmosis can be acquired from eating raw meats.

US only when necess.: Ultrasound (us) is a very safe examination. However, it should be used only when necessary to properly care for the patient or fetus.
Why? Us uses high frequency sound waves that we cannot hear, but do have energy. Some us techniques involving doppler to look at blood flow are even more energetic.
We do not know for sure what that energy could do to a fetus or embryo, so no us unless necessar.

Unlikely: I'd ask your OB for a better answer, since s/he would know your case the best.For most healthy women, carrying a toddler will not trigger a miscarriage.
