I think you can go easy on yourself while
you are pregnant and allow yourself to eat
some meat if that is what you really
fancy. It could be that you need the
protein or is it possible that, deep down,
you want to eat meat again and the
pregnancy is a good escuse to do it? I
don't mean that in a bad way, I was veggie
for 10 years and one day I had a filet o
fish from .Mcdonalds and that was it, I
was back eating meat again.
You can always go back to vegetarianism
after you've had your baby if you like.

No seriously I want to be a vegatarien but
I cant stop eating the chicken,i do feel
ever so guilty but yeah I do know that if
my baby is asking for it I must be lacking
in something,like protien.But I will
deffinetly go back to vegatarienism after
my baby is here,(????).

Im just being curious..But why are you a
vegitarian?(sp)...
I've always been curious as to how someone
could go without eating meat..Its like my
favorite thing..
I had a friend that her religion was
against it but she still snuck around and
ate it at school:)..Shi* I would have to
if I were her!

My grandma is a vegetarian. It's weird,
because she hasn't been her whole
life....Just as long as I can remember. I
don't know when she started. She gets
lots of her nutritional needs out of the
good foods she eats. She takes vitamins
everyday too. She is gonna be 89 this
october and she still lives on her own in
a regular apartment complex (opossed to a
senior complex) her eye sight has been
getting progressively worse, but she
manages still. She's not the energetic
little old lady she was 5 years ago, but
she's doing good for her age!!
But the moral of my story is, you *can*
get your nutritional needs from other
foods that you would normally get from
meat. I'm not sure how she does it, it
seems she lives off of tomatoes and
cheese. But she's not lacking anything
according to doctors. They just tell her
to keep doing what she's doing.

Hiya jillian,just answering your message,i
wasnt a veggie all my life but when I was
between 10-13 (cant remember exactly) my
mum and me decided to start,i do it
because my field of work is and always
will be with animals,farm work, zoo
work,equesrian work,vet assistant work,
vet receptionist work and I actually did
start feeling guilty,alot of you will say
thats pathetic but its true and thats how
I feel,i used to be feeding the cows on
the farm (rare breeds farm,meaning they
won't actually be killed) and I would look
into those big brown eyes with their huge
long eye lashes and it would be like huh I
just ate a bloody beef burger last
night,and I would get very upset with
myself,so their you go and I will try my
hardest to stop eating chicken after my
baby is born.

the baby doesnt make you eat anything they
dont have super powers and ability to
transmit info about whats on the menu!!!.
You are eating it because its good for one
and 2nd its absolutely needed and you
crave it. You need a well balanced diet
now more than ever and that includes all
meat.
