I recently purchased M a 2 books on being vegetarian and pregnant. We have both been veg heads for 15plus years. People are amazed when I tell them this. I guess the assumption that vegetarians are skinny. They may be right but not when it comes to me. I'm a biggie and that is putting it nicely. Anyhow, we eat well clearly. Eggs and cheese are staple, yes we are vegetarians not vegans and we do eat fish. Fine if it make you feel better we are Pescetarian, fish eating vegetarians.
I was sure M would have to belly up and eat meat during pregnancy ( WE ARE NOT PREGNANT YET) but man I did not realize you can actually carry a baby and be a
In our tryin to conceive journey we have just decided to eat as if she were pregnant and eliminate soy as we ate a ton and well not sure how that interfered with her levels. Soy has estrogen.
Back to the books I bought and pretty much most of the pregnancy books go though categories and phases. Several books have a quit smoking while pregnant phase and then there are a few books that even go on to say and explain why you should quick your crack habit and or your LSD usage. ARE YOU KIDDING ME ! Chances are if one preggo needs to Kick her crack and or LSD habit then how likely is she to even read this book. Again, i was shocked that it was in the book. Certainly if someone was preggo and had a crack or LSD habit then they should be reading a different book and the likelyhood of them being a Crak/LSD user that happens to be a vegetarian .... COME ON ... really COME ON!
It really gets my goat when i see this because here we are two LOVING people who dote on one another trying to have a baby. Thought of and decided to make this baby thought a reality, wishing for it wanting it and tasting it so badly and yet no one bats an eye when a book is published saying it might be best of you kicked your Crack habit once you are pregnant.
So preggos out there and potential preggos please put the CRACK PIPE DOWN !
