Vegetarian/ Vegan Pregnancy And Baby. Posted: 05-04-06 10:42am
Did anyone go through their pregnancy as
either a vegan or vegetarian? Is anyone
raising their baby on a vegetarian or
vegan diet? Also did anyone give birth
without drugs???? Info on any of these
would be greatly appreciated. : )

I'm no expert but I would think it would
be better for the baby if you also ate
meat during your pregnancy cause the baby
needs a lot of different nutrients that
not all veggies can give them.I don't know
about delivering with no drugs,i've never
had a kid. : )

I donno anything about the vegan or the
vegetarin diet. But I did give birth
without any drugs and it wasn't that bad.
It's not as bad as everyone says it is but
then again everyone is different.

You dont need meet for the baby if you
just make shore you eat a veriety of vegis
so they get all the nutrients they wont
need it they wont even miss it when they
grow up if they hav never had it an youll
hav one of the only kids that eats vegies
haha mine doesnt maybe look at taking iorn
tablets if you dont get enough from vegies

i, personally wouldn't raise my baby
vegan. To be a vegitarian is totally
different than being a vegan. They can
consume nothing dairy, so how's the baby
going to celebrate it's 1st birthday??
With a tofu cake?? Lol
as far a delivering with no drugs, I
refused all medical intervention, but
accenpted oxygen. I didn't have an
epidural or an .I.V and it was the best
thing I could've ever gone through!!! To
actually feel the living person come out
of you is unlike anything i've ever
experienced!! I would totally recommend
it to everyone!!
I look at it like my great grand mother
had babies on the kitchen table without
the use of drugs...What makes me any
better that I can have drugs. I didn't
even sign the papers to receive an
epidural or .Demoral...It was my way of
forcing myself to go naturally!!
Thanks. And hey there are some really
good vegan cake recipes : ) I was a vegan
for 6 months and at first it was really
hard because I didn't know much about what
to eat so I just ate like lettuce and
apples for like every meal and that gets
old fast. I don't know if I should start
the kid off vegan and then when he's old
enough to know if animal rights is
actually something he cares about he
decide to continue that or not. I
totally get that he might not be sensitive
to the subject like his mommy. I don't
know what my baby is yet by the way so I
always jump back and forth from calling it
a him or a her. Because it feels wrong
to call it an 'it'.

He will probs be sensitive to it if you
raise him to be.
