Galette Lyonnaise (Cheese)
NOT RECOMMENDED
Soft cheeses are often made with raw, unpasteurized milk, which may contain the listeria bacteria that causes listeriosis. However, soft cheeses that are clearly marked as “pasteurized” are safe to eat, as this process kills the bacteria. Listeria can cross the placenta and cause an infection in your baby, potentially resulting in pre-term birth, miscarriage, and other serious risks. Because of this, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that pregnant women avoid soft cheeses. You should ask your doctor if you have any questions about soft cheeses, or want his or her opinion on eating soft cheeses, as it may differ.

Because of the way they are prepared and packaged, in rare cases, lunch meats may contain the listeria bacteria, which can cross the placenta and cause serious problems like miscarriage, pre-term birth, and other serious health risks for your baby, so the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends heating any deli meat you want to eat until it is steaming hot in order to make it safe to eat. You should ask your doctor if you have any questions about lunch meats during pregnancy.

Gin
NOT RECOMMENDED
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that women avoid drinking alcohol during pregnancy, due to possible risks to your baby, including Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, which can cause serious developmental delays, and because there is no medically agreed-upon safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy. Your health care provider will almost certainly have an opinion on whether there is or is not a safe amount of alcohol to drink during pregnancy, so talk to them if you wish to have a discussion about the risks of alcohol for your growing baby.
Gindara nigiri (sushi)
NOT RECOMMENDED
Many types of sushi contain raw meat or fish, which may contain parasites which could get your baby sick. While the risk of contracting a parasitic infection from sushi is relatively low, and the infection could probably not cross the placenta and make your baby sick, the gastrointestinal problems it could cause in you are serious enough that it could hinder your baby’s development. Because of this, The Mayo Clinic recommends that pregnant women avoid sushi during pregnancy, but many doctors are mixed on the issue, so you may want to ask your practitioner for his or her opinion. Additionally, many types of sushi do not contain raw meat or fish, and are safe to consume as long as they follow your other dietary guidelines.
Ginger (ground)

Ginger ale
NOT RECOMMENDED
Soda and other carbonated beverages are safe to drink during pregnancy as a whole, but some varieties may contain caffeine, which the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends you either avoid or drink in moderation during pregnancy, as some studies have linked it to miscarriage and low birth-weight. Soda is quite far from nutritionally-fulfilling, but so long as you keep your caffeine intake down, there is nothing wrong with drinking soda or other carbonated beverages while pregnant. You can ask your doctor if you have any questions about drinking soda during pregnancy.

Goat (raw)
NOT RECOMMENDED
Eating raw meat puts you at risk of exposure to harmful bacteria like coliform bacteria, salmonella, and e. coli, and can cause toxoplasmosis, a serious parasitic infection. Although most of these infections can probably not cross the placenta, they could make you sick enough to negatively affect your baby’s growth and development. Because of this, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that women cook all meat thoroughly during pregnancy before eating it – about 170 degrees Fahrenheit at the center for steak. You can always talk to your health care provider if you have more questions.
