Foods to refrain from during pregnancy

Foods to refrain from during pregnancy

As soon as a woman conceives, the parents-to-be get all sorts of suggestions about what they should do to ensure that the pregnancy is successful. After consulting experienced IVF doctors from renowned infertility hospitals and surrogacy centers in Jaipur, we have been able to enlist some of the major food items to be avoided during pregnancy:-

• Caffeine/coffee – It has been observed that the excessive consumption of caffeine at least a month before trying to get pregnant and during pregnancy can increase the chances of miscarriage starkly. Hence, the most minimum possible amount is suggested. Best would be to avoid it all together.
• Unpasteurized dairy – Being organic food items, dairy products are susceptible towards getting infected by bacterium and fungi. They must be pasteurized before consumption otherwise they can cause severe infections that may hamper the pregnancy.
• Raw or undercooked meat and fish – Just like dairy, organic food items like chicken, beef, mutton, fish and others are vulnerable to getting infected by bacterium and fungi. Cooking them completely is the only way to get rid of any harmful infestations and prevent oneself and their baby from getting infected or poisoned.
• Processed food – As much as possible, one should eat only freshly prepared food items especially those that are produced at home to ensure avoiding infected and unhealthy edible products.
