loved this series! thanks so much for sharing all of these wonderful tips!

I wish I had this book when I was pregnant. I searched high and low for a good book to help me through my vegetarian pregnancy but never found one I truly loved. Now I'm looking for books on raising my baby vegetarian and am trouble finding those as well...sigh.

Thanks for this Alicia, I've just jumped online and ordered a copy of Your vegetarian pregnancy after reading this post. I'm already 27 weeks pregnant but plan to have a few more vegetarian babies after this one so I'm super excited to read this book! 

Thanks again

So I would LOVE some advice....I am 15 weeks pregnant, vegan and feeling great so far!  I asked my doctor about sublingual B12 supplementation in addition to my prenatals and he didn't feel comfortable with it.  He said that my prenatal, which has 100% DV should be enough.  My concern is that the B12 in my prenatals aren't going to be absorbed.  From everything I have read, an additional sublingual supplement would ensure that I'm 'covered' in this area.  I eat nutritional yeast from time to time and make Vega shakes, but not consistently.  Can anyone give me some advice, or let me know what their doctors have recommended?

Great article! I haven't had any babies yet, but when I do I'll definitely stay vegan during pregnancy, breastfeeding etc. I really wouldn't want to expose my child to the nasty things in meat and dairy! Sayward Rebhal has written a book called the Vegan Pregnancy Survival Guide that's supposed to be really informative, I've heard a lot of good things about it.
