Unripe papaya, pineapple, raw food like sushi and other such foods, rare meats, liver, soft cheeses, raw eggs (egg yolk should be well done and not runny for fried etc), fruits and veg for salad should be washed very well ( avoid salads in restaurant when not sure of that) , unpasteurized fruit juices and foods with additives and colorings and artificial sweeteners. Check websites like baby center. Com or Whattoexpect.com for information about everything related to pregnancy.

Do not eat raw foods such as sushi or medium cooked steaks/ barbeque Do not consume tuna as much as possible because it has high levels of mercury...remember the bigger fish the more mercury. For fruits, papaya is ok to be honest especially if you really crave for it but keep it in moderation. Added to this, pineapple is also another fruit to watch for or consume moderately. These two fruits were advised to me by my OB to be containing enzymes for labor and you wouldn't want to be on labor on the early stages of your pregnancy :)
