vegan/vegetarian/clean eating experiences?

Question

Does anyone have any personal success stores of ttc while adhering to a plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, whole 30, etc diet? I have seen a trend in women following these various lifestyle changes and had success procreating and was just wondering if anyone would have first hand info.

If not, any certain food tips?

Thank You in advance and please be respectful of each individuals opinions/life choices 🙂

Answer

I'd been vegan for about 5 years before TTC with my husband. We were very fortunate to conceive about a month after we started trying. I'm currently 30 weeks along and feeling pretty good (tired, though! Lol) I've had pretty standard pregnancy symptoms (1st trimester was 24/7 nausea! Urgh) but taking prenatals, keeping an eye on iron, B12 and folate levels and trying to drink water/eat lots of fresh fruit has definitely helped. I pretty much eat what I feel like as long as it is vegan, and just try to balabce the cake and fries with heakthy stuff too😊 Good luck on your journey!

I was on my second round of Whole30 when we found out I was pregnant in January, but I had gotten pregnant on Christmas and I was not following any specific diet program then. My first whole30 was in June 2016 when my first baby turned 6 months old. It's an awesome diet, I had great results with it both times. I don't know if it helped or not with getting pregnant though.
