Any veggie mommies? Or ttc veggies??

Question

My doctor is supportive, and most importantly so is my hubby. So I would rather not hear uneducated "you need meat comments". 
Just would like to hear if other veggie moms are having meat cravings

Answer

I'm a vegan,just had s healthy 10 pounds 4 oz baby girl ❤️😍. 
Suck on that to everybody who told me my daughter will be born sick & underweight because I didn't eat meat while pregnant 😌😏

Answer

We pass off the vegan nuggets as "chicken" nuggets to my daughter. 😈 We try to stay organic when we do eat real meat, though. The antibiotics, hormones, and dioxin in cows from corporate farms worry me.

Answer

I don't eat meat. It's not a 'poor animal' kind of thing. I just don't have a taste for it. I'm almost 7 weeks pregnant. I haven't really had any strong cravings in particular, but I've been entertaining the idea of a grilled chicken ceasar salad. Lol. 
Also, I still prepare dinners for my husband and daughter that includes meat each night. They eat meat, so I cook it. I don't force it one way or the other. The aversion to being a carnivore is strictly due to lack of taste for it. I'd prefer that my family eat meat vs junk food, though. That's one thing that I do enforce. It's just not healthy to gobble down garbage.

Vegan mama here! I have a 17 mo old vegan kiddo and am pregnant with our second. My midwives and doc totally support me. Last time gave birth to a 9lb 2oz boy totally healthy! But I have never had a craving for anything I won't eat. In pregnancy I have bad nausea and food aversions so most food is totally unappealing to me.

Answer

Veggie mommy here!!! When I was pregnant I absolutely craved steak and mashed potatoes and milk afterwards I would feel so so sick but it was what my baby wanted. After my pregnancy I still hate meat and milk.."went right back to veggie mommy"  My son is 5 now and also is a veggie baby! :)

Answer

I'm a vegetarian, everyone told me my baby would be "sickly" or underweight. Had a very healthy baby, breastfed and she was a chunk!! She also prefers veggies but I do have her eat meat. It was my choice to become a vegetarian so it will be hers also.

Answer

Vegan mama here, and my 20-month LO is vegan too (90th % for weight). Never had a meat craving after a couple months, and I was an omnivore for years. Lots of people like meat substitutes though (soy dogs, breakfast sandwiches, tofurkey, etc).  My DH eats almost exclusively junk food and meat, and even he likes soy meat products (especially the pepperoni).

Answer

This is funny to me because I eat meat, and right now it makes me gag! I've been trying to force myself to eat meat to get the protein :(

Answer

I tried but then realized I hate almost all veggies.... I try my best to eat as little junk food as possible. I stay away from all red meats because my body doesn't react well to it at all.

Answer

If you're craving meat your body is probably trying to tell you to have more protein.
