Sorry replying little late. Dry fruits like cashews, pistachio and almond in the first trimester are dangerous if eaten more than a handful every day. Almond u can eat after soaking overnight.

They say,
a fully ripe papaya is not considered dangerous, a papaya that is at all unripe contains a latex substance that triggers uterine contractions and may cause a miscarriage. 1

The papaya enzyme that helps soothe indigestion is called papain, or vegetable pepsin. Papain is found in the fruit's latex and leaves. 1 Researchers have noted that unripe papaya latex acts like prostaglandin and oxytocin, which the body makes to start labor. 2 Synthetic prostaglandin and oxytocin are commonly used to start or strengthen labor contractions.

Congratulations!  Another thing my doctor advised me against eating are hot dogs and herbal teas. Regular lipton tea is fine or decaffeinated tea but some herbal teas are not good they didn't give me a list just told me to avoid them as some can cause a miscarriage.

The "rules" on what to eat and what not to eat are the same throughout pregnancy.  In the first trimester, you really don't need to eat more than you normally would (that's if you're able to eat at all! Lol). It's the second and third trimesters where you need to be eating about 300 more calories than usual - not much really.
Anyway, to add to the list: A lot of doctors advise against eating deli or lunch meats, unless they are heated up until steaming hot before eating. (Although, you'll find some women still eat it). It's because you have a chance of getting listeria from it, which is extremely bad for baby. Keep in mind you can also get listeria from fruits and veggies, so thoroughly wash those before eating. Congrats! :)

Hi and welcome. First of all congratulations! Ok so there's quite a few things all pregnant women should avoid and no doubt I will forget some but here goes:
soft cheese (unless made with pasteurised milk eg philadelphia)
Raw and undercooked eggs (good bye runny yolks)
Unpasteurised milk, pate, undercooked meats (bye bye medium -rare steak :( lol), liver, raw shellfish, and limit oily fish. They're the main ones that I was advised by my midwife. Best wishes :)
