When you're pregnant, eating for two means many things, and one of them is steering clear of foods that pose health risks for you and your baby. So here are some foods to avoid when you're pregnant. First, certain types of fish including those caught in rivers, lakes, and streams. Raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood and eggs, including eggs in cookie dough and cake batter. Hot dogs and luncheon meats, including deli ham, turkey, bologna, and salami -- unless they have been reheated until steaming hot. Unpasteurized dairy foods. Unpasteurized juices. Raw vegetable sprouts, including alfalfa, clover, and radish. And finally, it’s best to avoid herbal supplements and teas that have not been tested long enough to know the effects on pregnant women.
