Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I also had a wonderfully healthy vegan pregnancy. At first the doctors were concerned when they found out I was a strict vegetarian, but then as the pregnancy progressed they became amazed. I was very healthy, felt great throughout the pregnancy and gained the appropriate amount of weight. I did take prenatal vitamins, but otherwise just kept to my vegan diet. My son was born healthy and has continued to thrive on a vegan diet. He just turned a year old. I also had the experience where I was told at the doctor's office to start him on whole milk. I explained to the doctor that we don't drink milk, and he was o.k. with that. So, let your sister know that a healthy, vegan pregnancy is not only possible, but easier than she may think. It may help her to know that there are so many of us out there that have had vegan/vegetarian pregnancies and healthy vegan/vegetarian babies. I know it helps me everyday to know I'm not the only one out there trying to have a healthy vegan family diet. -Dawn ______________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.
