^ I am sure everyone knows a pregnant woman needs a balanced diet...

what I am asking is, there is food out that will affect a baby's health. It is better to avoid eating it.

for example...duck, chinese say it is poison, not literally poison, but if you have wound or just finished a surgery, it will take longer time to heal or you might end up having rash or something.

you know when you eat something, you probably won't notice how your body reacts to it, cause you are an adult, but it probably will affect the baby in long term. A real life example would be my aunt used to eat watermelon regularly when my cousin was born, ending up he has really really horrible skin (his skin is like sand paper and reddish when the weather is hot). It is commonly known in chinese culture not to eat watermelon when you are pregnant. I don't know, I better ask more elder people.
