I am a new vegan, after seeing Alicia on Oprah and reading her book. It has been something I've thought about and flirted with, but now I am full in! I am 26 weeks pregnant. With my first pregnancy I had my daughter on soy formula, but after one year they go on whole milk...my question is, is soy or rice milk ok to provide them with all the necessary nutrients to grow? I am slowly adjusting my 1 1/2 year old girl to healthier eating and she love it, but yes, I would like to get advice on dealing with school, birthday parties, etc. where all the food is pizza/chicken fingers, milk and ice cream or cookies!
P.S. Since becoming vegan (which was in my 3rd month of pregnancy) I have so much more energy, have not ballooned like crazy, and I feel absolutely fabulous! Thank you for all you do!
Are there any health risks to the baby when pregnant and vegan? Should I be concerned about my child receiving enough nutrients while I'm pregnant and when I'm breast feeding?
I want to know more about BECOMING pregnant for those of us with health issues. Thanks!
I am so glad that this topic is here. I want to know more about soy and pregnancy. My husband and I recently started TTC and I have heard so many arguments about the amount of soy to consume. I am so confused and want to do the best for my body and (hopefully) my baby.
I would like to know how to get all the Omega 3 that I need. I have read that Flaxseed oil isn't as effective as Fish Oil. Thanks!
