Did anyone else have a vegetarian pregnancy?

Yes I did! I grew up vegetarian and had just started to eat meat before I got pregnant and then when I became pregnant I couldn’t stomach the texture. Baby was perfectly fine when he was born. Milk supply was great. I did start eating meat again but not very much. I really just eat chicken. I never saw a change in milk supply though. 💕
I'm not a vegetarian normally (I eat poultry & fish), but I couldn't stand the smell of meat during my pregnancy lol. My baby came out beautiful and healthy at 7lbs 3oz. My milk supply is still going strong even though I had to stop breastfeeding 2 months ago. I didn't have problems with getting back to meat either... I actually had my BF go get me a turkey sub from the bodega after I pushed her out 🤣
I've been pescatarian for years but don't have seafood that often so it was mostly vegetarian meals during pregnancy and the same now 8 months PP. My daughter was smaller when born but perfectly healthy and growing fine.
Vegan all through pregnancy and breastfeeding! Just eat enough and things should be fine. Protein and iron still a priority is important.
