When you become pregnant you are immediately given a list of foods by your doctor that you are encouraged to eat and a list of foods to avoid completely, however the list of dont's is extensive and it is almost impossible to avoid every food. Dr. Aneema Van Groenou said in an article in Pregnancy today "though there are a couple of things that are genuinely dangerous for your pregnancy, there are few absolute rules." If you happen to ingest a food on the don't list it is not classified as a major crisis. Sometimes things such as alcohol or caffeine show up in unexpected places such as ice cream, candy, or food. A small amount of these things once in a while is not going to cause harm, only in large quantities can certain foods actually cause harm to the mother or fetus. As for consuming raw fish or seafood during pregnancy Dr. Phil once said "Women in Japan don't stop eating Sushi."
