First pregnancy & I feel like it’s been so easy. Thank you so much to a plant based diet!!! No processed vegan crap!! Just straight up fruits veggies legumes & nuts!

My first non plant based pregnancy was extremely challenging. i actually struggled with my iron levels and gained twice as much weight, experienced significant swelling, hypertension and had borderline levels for GD, none of which i experienced during my second.

I have 3 children my last pregnant I was plant based and I had the best pregnancy. No swelling ,no big nose, actually lost weight (14 lbs) healthily but baby was of normal weight 7.2 lbs and delivery and recovery was quick and easy. My recovery after childbirth was very fast because of my diet.

Two healthy plant based pregnancies and kids are in great health❤

I had a perfectly healthy vegan pregnancy ❤️

Perfect timing! I’ve had two non vegan and two vegan pregnancies and am starting my first whole food plant based pregnancy and I’m so excited to see the difference. I’m hoping for a baby smaller than 9 lbs this time 😅

Hello Dr. Greger (and everyone!), I have been vegan for about 5 years now. Being a cell biologist, it was very important for me to back up my new life choice with some hard evidence, so thank you for making all that information so easily available, and comprehensive. Now, I just found out I am pregnant and I am super excited. I wanted to ask you, can pregnant women supplement with Ashwaganda and Lion's Mane mushroom? They have both incredible benefits but it seems that the research is limited when it comes to pregnancy. Do you think there are any reasons why I should stop taking them? Thank you for your help!🙏❤️

Good morning, I’m an OB, who has a fantasy to write a book called plant-based pregnancy. Using this time to collect sources and studies. I know you probably won’t read this but if you ever had time to do a zoom call on this topic I would feel quite honored. Many blessings, Scott .

Looking for supplements to help with infant tooth enamel. I think it’s a deficiency during pregnancy has cause then to have early decay. Any suggestions? Currently pregnant.

Love your channel, Dr. Greger ❤ Thank you for the video - very informative and inspiring!

I had a very easy vegan pregnancy with my second. He also came a bit earlier, was smaller by a pound than my first, and allowed me a natural unmedicated birth (my first vegetarian pregnancy ended in a C section.) Breastfeeding my second was a dream as well, and no post-partum depression. But all this could be due to experience, and being more mature the second time around. I had a plant-based pregnancy, but nowhere near a Whole Foods plant-based pregnancy. I still ate a lot of junk.

It would be good to have citations of all the studies you mention in the video description

You are God sent! ❤

👍👍👍

What is your take on the assertions of Niko Rittenau, one of Germany's most watched vegan KZfaqrs, who says a vegan diet cannot supply all nutrients and we might need some exernal supply of arachadonic acid for instance?
