Vegan pregnancy???

Question

Heey! 
I changed my diet to a mostly vegan one (lil shrimp now and again) for health reasons and I feel much better, my intestinal health has improved and I am allergic to eggs, react badly to dairy yada yada 
I would like to continue my current diet but I also want to do whatever is best for my pregnancy. Does anyone have any insight on this? I will talk in depth with my OB at my first appointment but in the mean time, any thoughts? TIA! ♥️

Answer

As long as you are eating healthy and ensure that you intake the necessary amount of fruits, veggies and proteins, it doesn’t matter what form they come in :) peanuts, beans, veggies, etc. it doesn’t have to come from meat. Congrats on your pregnancy!

Answer

Thanks everyone! I was afraid that it would be a problem and that I would have to go back but your insights are super encouraging!

Answer

I’m vegan as well. Just make sure you’re eating healthy. My ob recommended I especially ensure I’m eating enough protein and calcium.

Answer

Iron and calcium is the biggest concern for vegans, so just be sure to eat enough of those foods on a regular basis or take a supplement.

Answer

Keep doing what you’re doing Momma! I didn’t change a thing about my diet other than increase my water intake and start taking a prenatal when we began TTC! Inform your OB of your plan to continue your vegan diet and ask them if they have any additional insight!
