The bond between a mother and her child is beautiful. This bond starts building during your pregnancy itself and grows stronger each day. This is why you might have so many worries during these 9 months, like how to sleep, how to exercise, what to eat or what to drink.

In this blog, we have listed some things that you should avoid when you are pregnant. Generally, some of these might be healthy, but they could harm you or your baby if you have them during pregnancy.

Papaya

Avoid eating raw or less ripe papayas. It is absolutely safe to eat fully ripe papayas. Raw papayas contain a substance called latex which can cause contractions. This can also lead to premature delivery or miscarriage. So be sure to check the ripeness of the papaya before eating it.

Pineapple

Pineapple contains a substance called bromelain. This can sometimes cause contractions or bleeding in the uterus. Don't worry, this will only happen if you eat too much pineapple. If you wish, you can avoid pineapple entirely during these 9 months. Based on your health and lifestyle, your doctor can advise you better on what foods to avoid during pregnancy.

Raw milk

During pregnancy, it is important to drink milk, as it is a great source of calcium. You and your baby both need calcium to stay healthy. But be sure to only drink boiled milk. Raw milk contains viruses that carry diseases.

Raw meat (chicken, mutton)

Raw meat carries a particular parasite called Toxoplasma. This parasite can cause an infection called toxoplasmosis which can affect your baby as well. Though this is not a common condition, to be on the safe side, you can always take some precautions. You just need to avoid eating meat that is raw or undercooked.

Carnivorous fishes

Carnivorous fishes, or fishes that eat other fishes, are rich in mercury. Though your body needs mercury in small amounts, too much mercury can be harmful to your baby. So avoid eating carnivorous fishes like shark, rohu, tuna during pregnancy. It is safe to eat fishes like pomfret, hilsa and bangda.

Avoid drinking alcohol during pregnancy

As you would already know, drinking alcohol is harmful to you. Alcohol easily mixes with your blood and reaches all parts of your body. During pregnancy, the placenta absorbs the nutrients from your blood. So this alcohol gets transported to your baby as well and can harm your baby's brain development. So don't drink alcohol during pregnancy.

Avoid smoking cigarette/beedi during pregnancy

Don't smoke cigarettes or beedis during pregnancy. Nicotine present in cigarettes and beedis create a gas called carbon monoxide. When this gas enters your lungs, the oxygen in your lungs reacts with it. So your body will not have enough oxygen. Less oxygen means that your baby will not develop properly and might have some defects at childbirth. This can also lead to premature delivery.

During pregnancy, some women even feel like eating things like mud or coal. This is a very serious condition called PICA syndrome. If you have any such feelings or cravings, avoid eating these. They can harm you as well as your baby.
