    There is always the risk of a food borne illness in undercooked meat so just avoid it because the sickness that comes with it isn't worth it to you or the baby who can't really fight it off.

    Sounds strange but not all tea is good tea while pregnant. Herbal tea is very strong and some of the natural herbs can be potent to the baby as the infant hasn't fully developed and the tea can alter his nervous system effectively weakening it and making him or her more prone to illness later on.

    Salmonella is a real risk for kids and adults, your baby has no immune system so it can't fight off an infections thus a raw egg could make you sick and in turn harm the baby. Put down that cookie dough now!

    It's filled with empty calories, loads of fat and more articial flavoring and additives than you would ever want to really know about. Your baby needs real food, not processed junk.

    Alcohol is known to be bad for adults in large doses but even small quantities can damage, deform, poison or even kill a developing fetus. The baby is much more sensitive to things than you so take care and just don't drink for the term of your pregnancy.

    The mercury content in these is so high that it can actually cause brain and nervous system damage to your little one so the risks just aren't worth indulging in your seafood fest.
