Answer

Take prenatal vitamins for sure. If you're having a hard time finding vegan ones, don't worry about that so much as finding one with the correct amount of each vitamin.
I used this one during my pregnancy

Also, keep in mind that when eating vegan food you need to eat significantly more food to meet the same calorie requirements. You usually only need 300 more calories per day while pregnant, but keep in mind that it's quite a bit more food overall (even without the additional 300). A banana and a pbj aren't going to cut it, usually. Most people have success at first by eating small meals more often rather than trying to eat a lot more 3 meals a day. Try to eat nutrient-dense foods as well (actual fruits and vegetables). Junk food is junk food, vegan or not. If you feel fatigued, more often than not it's because you're not eating enough.
PETA has resources for how to order vegan at different restaurants/fast food chains, so that's good to know for cravings!
In my experience, I'd focus on transitioning to vegan food first and get comfortable with that, then expand to other lifestyle choices so you don't get overwhelmed. The food thing is often confusing or stressful for the first couple weeks while you learn what's what but afterwards (and once you get some pantry staples) it becomes just as easy as it is for anyone else. There are plenty of resources and ideas to help. Pinterest is great for recipe ideas!
Best of luck!
