Rabbit (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.

Rainbow Roll (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.

NOT RECOMMENDED
It is crucial to keep your caffeine intake in check. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states that pregnant women can safely consume a moderate amount of caffeine (such as one cup of coffee or one can of soda per day). Studies have connected caffeine consumption to miscarriage and low birth weight. The safety of having higher doses of caffeine, which ACOG defines as more than 200mg per day, is unknown. Women who have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep may wish to avoid coffee, especially later in the day. Additionally, caffeine may also contribute to frequent urination. Your healthcare practitioner may have a different perspective on caffeine during pregnancy if you wish to consult them about this.

NOT RECOMMENDED
The listeria bacteria that causes listeriosis may be present in the raw, unpasteurized milk that is frequently used to make soft cheeses. Listeria can infect your unborn child through the placenta and lead to preterm birth, miscarriage, and other harmful outcomes. As a result, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) advises against consuming soft cheeses while pregnant. Ask your doctor if you have any concerns regarding soft cheeses or would like to know their position on the matter.
Eating soft cheeses clearly marked as “pasteurized” is okay, as this method eliminates the bacteria.
