General Pregnancy Health Advice and Hygiene Practices:

Foods and drinks to avoid or limit in pregnancy:

  • Avoid fish high in mercury, ready-to-eat chilled foods, soft cheeses, raw eggs, and raw seafood.
  • Avoid double-shot espresso and energy drinks.
  • Limit caffeine intake to 1 espresso, 2 instant coffees, 4 cups of tea, or 4 cans of cola per day.
  • Limit sugary and fatty foods.

Smoking, alcohol, and other drugs, and medicines:

  • Don’t smoke or vape during pregnancy; avoid second-hand smoke.

  • Consult your doctor or midwife about the safety of any medicines or supplements you’re taking.
  • Avoid recreational drugs and seek assistance from your healthcare provider to quit if needed.

Daily health and hygiene:

  • Maintain dental hygiene to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Drink tap water, brush with fluoride toothpaste twice daily, and use floss or interdental brushes. Regular dental check-ups are recommended.
