What should I avoid??
I don't have my appt with my dr. until Thurs. I just got a BFP today, and by coincidence I had a checkup for Thurs. I was wondering what foods and products should I avoid until I meet with my dr. and discuss that with her? Thanks!

Re: What should I avoid??
I think everything in moderation is okay. But if you do a search there are a lot of posts on the subject.
BTW: Congrats

The biggies (aside from the obvious drugs, cigarettes and alcohol) are anything raw or undercooked - no sushi, no undercooked or runny eggs, no undercooked meat.

I know caffiene is really a no no, but is it ok to have half a cup? I need to start weening myself off.

Congrats and welcome!!!  
I would just avoid the caffeine, sushi, tuna, swordfish, soft cheeses, etc.
Like the others have mentioned, the rest of the stuff is all in moderation. 
Oh and drink lots of water every day! LOTS!

Yes when i first found out i was pregnant, i went from a cup of coffee down to half a cup, to 1/4 cup, etc to ween myself off. Besides, the baby doesn't share the same bloodstream as you until 6 weeks.

i was told a cup of coffee a day was fine. doctors vary on what they allow and don't allow, but here was the list i was given, for what it's worth:
fish no more than once a week
no coldcuts, deli meat, or hotdogs
no unpasteurized cheeses the first 13 weeks
no hotubs or saunas

Re: What should I avoid??
I drank at least a cup of regular coffee a day, and for some reason craved diet coke like mad (I despise it usually) and everything was fine with me!
