Pregnant after IF

Where to get the info?

I'm especially concerned about foods - what I can and cannot eat.  Can you recommend a good resource to get this info?  I was pointed to one book that was supposedly "the best written book on pre-pregnancy and pregnancy nutrition out there" but it is boring as sin to read... I haven't even gotten to the part about what to eat and what to avoid yet!

I'm only 5w3d - I haven't even had my first u/s - and I'm not having any food aversions yet so I haven't change my diet much.  I know to avoid deli meats and some fish some so I haven't had any, but I hope everything else I'm eating is okay and not hurting baby.

Thanks for your help, ladies!

    I've always referenced this list from the APA - however, your OB is also likely to give you a list of foods to avoid.  You're not sharing a blood supply with the baby yet so it's ok to wait a bit for the list.

    I know my doctor said you can have most things in moderation, so I wouldn't worry about it too much yet. However, you can always find information from a pharmacy, I know where I live they hand out these little mini-pamphlets on stuff to avoid during pregnancy. You can then just stick it in your wallet or purse as a reference.

    Just what I was looking for...thank you!  Judging by this list, looks like I'm okay for now - except for my beloved Feta....oh well!

    You are actually probably fine with the feta. I have only found one non-pasteurized feta so far.  Most cheeses here are pasteurized.

    Only if it's imported unpastuerized feta.  If it's US and not from a small farm/dairy chances are you're fine.
