Vegan pregnancy apps?

Question

I am brand new to this app and have been vegan for about five years. I’ve heard there are a lot of things that you can or should not eat during pregnancy. I read yesterday that bean sprouts or not allowed during pregnancy. Made me wonder what other things I would normally eat or not allowed. Has anyone discovered a vegan Pregnancy app about how to make sure you’re getting enough folic acid and avoiding some foods not allowed during pregnancy?

Answer

I think proper research will be enough. As a vegan, you are already keeping away from most of the dangerous foods such as types of cheeses, raw meats and fishes and etc. As for the folic-acid, many fruits and vegetables are a good source. Just wash them well and avoid leafy salads when out. You can also take additional vitamins (there are vegan prenatal ones). http://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancy-health/folic-acid/ https://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/diet/eating-vegetarian-vegan-during-pregnancy/

Answer

I would ask your doctor or care provider.  My OB/GYN was very supportive of my vegan diet and had some helpful pamphelts. Some vitamins to make sure your getting in you prenatals are choline  bitartrate and DHA. But, from experience, don't buy a prenatal containing DHA. They made me physically sick. I buy vegan DHA/EPA pills on Amazon and take them separately from my prenatal. I also take extra D3, because I live in the PNW (no sun), but it's also essential for calcium absorption. As a vegan, I also don't drink any coffee or black tea, because they impede nutrient absorption, especially iron. I was not getting enough iron in my first trimester and I could feel it! I was short of breath a lot. Now I'm on Rainbow Light Prenatal One and feel really good! They have probiotics and enzymes that seem to really help me digestion the vitamins.

Answer

I know I'm late to this party but talk to your doctor about your diet. I am not vegan or vegetarian but did cut out most meat in the beginning of my second pregnancy and I was extremely ill. My doctor suggested that I go back to eating a lot of red meats to help my body with my pregnancy. if your doctor is concerned about your diet they will probably give you a blood test to see what all of your levels are at and suggest maybe a diet change depending on your levels. Good luck.
