Cravings can be crazy, especially when wanting to eat so many different foods to sustain myself and the little one growing inside me. My partner often wondered how to feed me and what food would be safe and unsafe. As new parents, we found it helpful to familiarize ourselves with safe and unsafe foods and habits for pregnancy. This way we could work together to build healthy and safe meals for the whole family. I found it especially helpful when my partner and I ate the same safe foods, to keep me on a healthy track. It’s especially important to eat nutrient-rich foods to keep healthy. As a general rule, a lot of food I could eat raw, like fish or even sprouts, needed to be avoided. Many other foods needed to be cooked more thoroughly like eggs and meat. Below are some helpful websites with comprehensive lists of food dos and don'ts.
