Q&A

A question came in today...
Hello and congratulations on such a wonderful resource for raw pregnancies! During my first pregnancy, i was 100% raw, 99% vegan, for the first five months. There were really no online resources. I'm starting the 2nd trimester of my 3rd pregnancy. What I've discovered is that i can be 100% raw or so for the first and last trimesters, but second trimester, i crave cooked starches- quinoa, potatoes, rice pasta. I just started my second trimester and thought that i could maintain my salads and smoothies and fruit, but sure enough, my stomach is rebelling against greens. i've not had morning sickness, but have started throwing up after raw meals- and i crave cooked veggies and grains (i can still do smoothies- but i don't want to live on those alone)- any suggestions?

peace-
Cassi

Cassi,

You have to do what you feel is right for your body and baby. It sounds like you've accomplished something I have yet to.
I have been amazed at thegardendiet.com, Jinjee has had raw pregnancies...which is my hope.

Sprouts, seeds, spirulina, Maca, coconuts, ginger, carrot juice are some good things to get too, how much of these do you eat? Do you take a supplement ("whole food")?
