Answer

Being in Ketosis is bad for you and the baby. I have gestational and my sister has type 1 diabetes. Both of our doctors said no Keto diet because it’s dangerous. Just eat the recommended amount of carbs with protein and fat.

Answer

Im doing keto

Answer

True ketosis is likely not going to be sustainable long term while pregnant due to the amount of fats you have to consume and how full they can make you. Lower carb, especially low or no sugar is absolutely safe. Focus in real, while, nutrient rich, unprocessed foods, and you will naturally get a lower carb diet.
