TTC and Vegetarian?

Question

Hi guys, I am ttc (this is the first month) and was wondering if anyone knows if being a vegetarian can effect that? And, if you get pregnant, is it safe to continue a vegetarian diet or should you switch to a regular diet (meats, dairy, and etc.)??

Answer

My first pregnancy I was a vegetarian ( I'm now a vegan) & had no trouble what so ever, I got pregnant first try as well.

​Fish? Is that vegetable? :-|

​Anyways good luck :-)

Answer

Hi there I am also a vegatraian (but I eat fish) & as long as you are getting your nurtiriants & vitamins from other aspects of your diet it is perfectly healthy. I don't eat diary either but take my vitamins and maintain a healthy diet of vegetables, fruits, whole grains etc. The only thing I would suggest is if you do eat fish watch your mercury & try to stick with fish that is in low mercury such as salmon. Swordfish and tuna hve high mercury levels. Good luck xx

Answer

I've been told that  large amounts soy can be harmful to your baby. If you are eating high amounts of soy to supplement your diet you may want to switch to meat for the duration of your pregnancy and breast feeding.
