Raw foods including uncooked meats, fish, shellfish and eggs. Deli meats and smoked seafood, which may harbor bacteria that are particularly dangerous for pregnant women and the unborn. Soft or unpasteurized cheeses, pate and unpasteurized milk. Caffeine and alcohol. Fish that may contain mercury. These may include: shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish.
