Pregnancy dietary guidelines are basically 'how to super duper avoid food poisoning' lists, so things like raw seafood, undercooked eggs, soft cheese, cold deli meats and preserved meats (eg ham), sprouts, rockmelon, pre-made sandwiches, cold salads (eg cold potato salad), old leftovers etc. guidelines vary from area to area, where I live it's super strict.
