Does anyone who has been vegan and pregnant have any advice for me? I just found out i'm pregnant. I was taking the whole foods prenatal, but now I'm taking Deva. I also take a vegan Omega 3 supplement. I'm reading Your Vegetarian pregnancy and Skinny Bitch Bun in the Oven. Also, i'm actually going on vacation to Puerto Rico next week. I can't even see my gyno before then because he said i should be 6 weeks and I'm only about 4 now. Any general advice would be much appreciated!!

Congrats! I was omni when I was pregnant, so I can't be much help. I did go vegan shortly after my daughter was born, and I think that being vegan and breastfeeding was better than omni and breastfeeding. What is good about being pregnant is your body will tell you what you need.

Congratulations! I've been reading this new book called - the Mommy Docs Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy. They're the doctors from the show Deliver Me, I saw them on Rachel Ray not too long ago. I just got this book so I'm not done reading it, they give lots of good info about pregnancy in general, so far I love it. I did see a few tips on vegan and vegitarian pregnancy in chapter 2 :)
