Hello!
These are the food that should be avoided by pregnant women:
1. Deli Meat: this should be avoided because it is known to be contaminated with listeria that can cause miscarriage. Listeria has the ability to cross the placenta and can infect the baby causing blood poisoning that is life-threatening.
2. Fish that contain high levels of mercury for mercury can cause delay in development and brain damage.
3. Smoked seafood that are refrigerated and labeled as lox, nova style, kippered, or jerky should be avoid. They can be contaminated with Listeria. However, canned or shelf-safe smoked seafood is usually safe to eat.
4.Avoid eating fish from contaminated lakes and rivers that are exposed to high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls. Examples are bluefish, striped bass, salmon, pike, trout and walleye.
5. Raw shellfish should not be eaten like oysters, clams and mussels.
6. Raw eggs or any food that has raw eggs because of its potential to be exposed to salmonella.
7. Soft cheese may also contain Listeria.
8. Unpasteurized milk may also contain Listeria that can cause miscarriage.
9. Pate for danger of Listeria presence
10. Caffeine intake may be related to miscarriages, avoid caffeine during the first trimester. If you have to drink limit to 300 mg per day.
11. Alcohol should be avoided for it can interfere with the healthy development of the baby.
These are some jobs or careers of a pregnant woman that may be harmful to the fetus:
*work that requires standing for long hours like cooks, nurses, salesclerks, waiters police office.
*jobs that require a lot of lifting, pushing, bending, shoving and loading of materials
*jobs that involve with toxic chemicals
