Re:Just found out I'm pregnant...don't have to start eating meat again,

Just make sure you see your doctor and take all precautions recommended. My doctor is starting me on vitamin D and I already take vitamin B12. (I'm not pregnant, lol.)

 

My local hospital has a Lifestyle Medicine Department. They are experts and vegan eating and health. You might want to see if you have something like that near you.

that reminds me of another thing I wanted to add to my original reply -

if your current medical professional isn't supportive of a plant-based

diet, look for one who is!

Congratualtions, and you do not have to eat meat. Your baby will be much

healthier probably. Here are a few websites on vegan pregnancies if you want to

check them out. Good Luck!
