Women should be careful in consuming certain fruits and vegetables during pregnancy. Consumption of high-mercury fish such as shark and swordfish should be limited due to potential harm to the developing fetus.

Raw sprouted grains such as alfalfa and clover may contain harmful bacteria, posing a risk of foodborne illness. Unpasteurized juices and dairy products should also be avoided to prevent exposure to harmful bacteria such as listeria. Additionally, excessive consumption of vitamin A-rich foods, such as organ meats, should be controlled, as excessive vitamin A can be harmful during pregnancy.

It is important for pregnant women to consult their healthcare providers for personalized dietary advice.
