What's you're opinion on being pescatarian while pregnant?

Question

I can quit eating meat instantly without an issue. And be fine. I've been eating pretty much everything while pregnant and sometimes I feel like I'm not feeding the baby nutritious food. Do you girls think it'll be a good idea to quit meat? I'll have less options on food. Instead of a burger I'll go for a salad. Instead of some ribs I'll go for some salmon. Instead of bacon I'll go for some yogurt and fruit.

I've been a vegetarian for the past 10 years and am currently pregnant with my second child. My first is very healthy, she even goes straight for the veggies before she eats any of her meat. I had people tell me how "sickly" she was going to be because I didn't eat meat and she came out a healthy weight and was a chunky baby too!

I'll be moving out the barracks forever next Saturday so for next week I'll still have to eat not so healthy food from the cafeteria. But as soon as I'm able to cook for myself and have funds for food (the army takes it all at the moment 300$ down the drain) I'll be able to finally cook healthy eat healthy and have a healthy baby. Thanks everyone for the comments. They were all helpful. You girls motivated me!

Answer

I was vegan prior to my last pregnancy(mc). Since then I've become pescatarian. It took some practice getting the gag reflex down! But I'm happy and confident that this baby is getting lots of calcium and protein. And of course my Dr had no concerns. Eating for Pregnancy is a very informative book with an extensive vegetarian section- FYI.

Answer

If stay with meat unless you can get protein elsewhere. You can eat fish whilst pregnant but only white fish and others are restricted

Answer

I am a pregnant raw vegan. You can get what you need either way.  Just eat a variety of foods and stay away from processed food as much as possible.
