Hello!
I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I'm a vegan. I switched to a vegan diet about 4 months ago. Only my parents and my bf's mother know about the pregnancy, and I'm under a fair amount of pressure from both of them to abandon veganism because they don't believe I can have a healthy pregnancy without meat or dairy. I have considered this and researched it somewhat, but I truly believe I can get everything my baby needs from a plant based diet.
I was just wondering if any others out there had gone through pregnancy on a vegan diet, and maybe had any advice on any useful supplements or vitamins I could be taking just to make sure?
