Pregnant vegan women – is it safe for my baby?
Posted on 10 January 2010
Happy New Year to all of you out there. At Vegan SA, we’d like to wish you all a prosperous upcoming year and one in which we can contribute in whatever small way possible, to making your lives more fulfilling.
“I’m pregnant and follow a vegan diet. will it harm my unborn baby?”
This is a question that many vegan mothers-to-be will ask. And since it is summertime and the hot season, now is as good a time as any to answer it.
Lesleigh Harnwell has produced an excellent document for us: Vegan Pregnancies. It’s full of nutritional information for any mother-to-be, addresses specific concerns for vegans and suggests some easy and readily available solutions.
This page also dovetails quite nicely with her previous article on Raising Children with a Vegan Diet.
If you are planning for future offspring soon, now you have all the dietary information you need. So go on then, … off you go and do your stuff!
