just staying healthy is most important. As well as taking pre-natal vitamins if you're trying to get pregnant such as folate.

It is said to avoid seafood because of the raw factor. So long as you know the food is of good quality, it wouldn't be an issue. But there is higher risk, and its best to be avoided.

But really, I wouldn't ask your parents and friends. Ask your doctor, or a public health nurse. There are a lot of wives tales that are completely unfounded. Such as the egg thing. Eggs are completely fine, but raw eggs _could_ be contaminated with salmonella...cooking an egg will fix that. But things such as Caesar dressing or Mayo should be avoided because they contain raw egg product...unless you trust your grocery store and properly refrigerate them after opening...
