what should i start eating and drinking?

I'm only 4 weeks and 5 days. I don't know what's healthy for the baby. I'm going to be a first time mom. So what should I start eating or drinking? I mean is it okay to drink milk and eat shellfish?

Milk yes but whole milk is best. Shellfish is a no once a week is ok. Eat pleanty of fresh fruits and veggies and drink water and cranberry juice (pregnant women are at higher risk for urinary infection) eat/drink foods high in folate or is it folic acid? (High in Orange juice) cut out soda and junk foods.  Sweets are ok small amounts but really cut out the soda completely.

Milk is very good for both you and baby. I eat shrimp, crawfish,  and sometime soon I get to eat crab. Just eat it in moderation
