Pregnancy Food List Printable: overview of what's included

Overview

When you're pregnant, the question is often less what to eat than how to eat it safely. This printable sorts common foods into enjoy, safer when handled right, and best avoided, based on the CDC's safer food choices for pregnancy, from deli meat and soft cheese to eggs and sprouts.

A second page lays out the FDA and EPA fish advice: best choices, good choices and fish to avoid. Then plan with the grocery list, swaps and a week of meal ideas, and track your vitamins, water and symptoms for your prenatal visits.

  • Three clear columns

    Enjoy, safer when handled right and best avoided.

  • The fish guide

    Best choices, good choices and fish to avoid, from the FDA and EPA.

  • Safe swaps

    Easy alternatives for sushi, cold deli meat, soft cheese and more.

  • Prenatal log

    Vitamins, water and symptoms to bring to your visits.

Questions

What foods should you avoid while pregnant?

Raw or undercooked meat, fish and eggs, unpasteurized milk, cheese and juice, raw sprouts, premade deli salads, refrigerated pâté, high-mercury fish and alcohol. Deli meat and hot dogs should be heated until steaming.

What fish is safe during pregnancy?

The FDA and EPA suggest 2 to 3 servings a week from the best choices, such as salmon, shrimp, cod, tilapia and canned light tuna, and avoiding high-mercury fish like shark, swordfish and king mackerel.

Can I eat cheese while pregnant?

Hard cheeses and pasteurized cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, feta and cottage cheese are safer choices. Avoid raw-milk cheese and queso fresco-type cheeses.

Can I use it on my iPad?

Yes. Import the PDF into GoodNotes, Notability, Xodo or any PDF app. The index and section tabs are clickable, so you can tap to jump between sections.

Will I get a printed copy in the mail?

No. It's a digital download. You print the pages yourself at home or at a print shop, or use them on a tablet.
