Q. Are there any foods or drinks that one should avoid in pregnancy?
Answer.
Harmful substances
Avoid all harmful substances that put you and your baby at risk, such as drugs, medication, alcohol, nicotine and caffeine. You should be careful about taking any of these without consulting your caregiver.
- Avoid diuretics
- Coffee, tea and bran reduce iron absorption.
- Don’t take vitamin and mineral supplements on your own – ask your doctor – too many can lead to complications.
