Ketogenic Lifestyle while pregnant?

Question

I have PCOS and a ketogenic lifestyle has been referred to me over and over again to lose and maintain weight. My husband and I decided after Christmas we are going to put our bodies into ketosis! I have an inkling I may have gotten pregnant this month... would it be safe to put my body into ketosis durin early pregnancy? Thanks guys!

Answer

I'm with the other person who posted- talk to your doctor before making any changes like that. I lost 20+ lbs without trying because I was so sick the first few months. I'm at 27 weeks and I'm only up 4lbs (from the last drs visit, not from pre-pregnancy).

Answer

I would talk to your doctor! They recommend speaking with your primary care or OB before starting a new diet or exercise plan, especially if you think you might be pregnant.
  
Good luck mama!! I lost 15 lbs without trying in my first trimester from sickness alone, you may just need to start surviving if you are pregnant, because oh man that morning sickness!! 
  
My OB said the second trimester will be the best time for me to start exercising again and being more careful with what I eat, once I start to feel better.

Here's to a sticky baby for you!! 💕💕💕

Answer

I would DEFINITELY discuss it with your doctor before starting if your a pregnant. Other than that, I would be shocked if you could do it through the first trimester. I know every pregnancy is different, but it seems most women crave or can only toerate eating carbs!
