I've been eating paleo prior to <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> to promote weight loss and successful implantation. At my 6wk5d ultrasound, babies measured at 6wk2d and 6wk1d size. At that point, all I was reading indicated complex carbs were a wise choice for nausea and healthy fetal growth so I added carbs back into the mix. Fast forward to my 8wk5d ultrasound and babies are now caught up - 8wk6d and 8wk4d.

Here's where I draw a conclusion - fetal growth caught up once I reintroduced a full complement of nutrients. I have gained back 3 pounds I lost initially, putting me at -1 lb under beginning of pregnancy weight. If I can keep my weight stable for the next 4 weeks, I'll be entering my 2nd trimester a happy well rounded camper! Sorry, Paleo, I like you for weight loss but these babies need to grow as healthfully as possible!
