Have a quick search of posts in this forum, loads of them about it 
Or read this list here - shows good and not so good foods http://www.eatwell.gov.uk/agesandstages ... rpregnant/
Or google and get loads of listings
Quick list
Unpasteurised cheeses (Dairylea, Philly etc are fine)
Tuna, swordfish (esp fresh as contains mercury) limit it
Wash salads
Avoid pate and liver (Vitamin A content)
Raw shellfish
The peanut debate can be read elsewhere on the forum. That's your choice but be aware they are reviewing medical advice on this food as to if it needs to be avoided.

Don't panic
I did say limit it in my post, so please don't fret. If its tinned tuna then the mercury content is less and you are ok to eat about 4 cans a week. Fresh is lesser amounts. twice a week. The Gov UK website says this
Avoid eating any shark, swordfish and marlin. Limit the amount of tuna you eat to no more than two tuna steaks a week (weighing about 140g cooked or 170g raw) or four medium-size cans of tuna a week (with a drained weight of about 140g per can). This is because of the levels of mercury in these fish. At high levels, mercury can harm a baby's developing nervous system.
Have no more than two portions of oily fish a week. Oily fish includes fresh tuna (not canned tuna, which does not count as oily fish), mackerel, sardines and trout.
Have a read of the link in my earlier post above, for the good and not so good foods. That lists all the main things to eat with caution or not at all.
(limit it)
