Every doc is different...
mine said:
no cold cuts (I had a ham sandwich the other day )
no soft cheeses (I also ate a greek salad )
certain seafoods high in mercury

this differs for people because everyone has differnet health risks, but as a rule all of should stay away from:
sushi and all other raw meats or fish
undercooked meats or eggs
fish with mecury (so you must limit tuna and other fush containing mercury)
coldcuts or other processed meats- if you eat them they should be heated to kill listeria a bacteria on them that pregnant women are sensitive too.
smoked meats like prociutto, smoked salmon, etc.
caffeine should be limited
artifical sweetners (i.e. "diet") products should be limited.
ETA: soft cheeses like Brie or blue cheese and dairy products that are not pasteurized

Okay, I just found my guideline paperwork from my doc.
Under restrictions they have:
* Avaoid artificial sweeteners
* Avoid diet foods
* Avoid caffeine as best you can
* Do not eat raw meat or fish
* Tuna restrictions- Albacore consumption should be limited to 6oz a week
* Do not eat shark, swordfish, king mackeral, or tilefish
* Limit all other fish to 12oz per week
* Do not eat soft cheeses (feta, brie, blue cheese, limburger, camembert, queso fresca, queso blanco)
* do not take any other vitamins besides your prenatals unless instructed to
HTH And again thats just my doctors recommendations- everyone is different
