Eating American during pregnancy is quite possible and can be very healthy. There are many American foods that are very nutritious and can constitute an excellent source of nutrients for the mother and the fetus. That said, you should avoid certain foods that are known to be at high risk for pregnant women. For example, it is important to avoid raw and poorly cooked meats, unpasteurized dairy products and raw eggs. Raw or poorly cooked fish products, such as raw fish or sushi, should also be avoided.
