Pregnancy
As for being pregnant; this is a precious and often emotional period of time for mums-to-be, so I wouldn't feel comfortable telling anyone that they should be vegan whilst being pregnant. BUT this is only because I haven't done it myself! Thus how could I say it with conviction? This video has solved that for me; because there's a healthy mum-to-be who talks about how great she feels being vegan during her pregnancy, as well as, how she feels after the birth of the baby.
Vegan pregnancy
The video covers 2 main things. You'll meet someone who's worked for the NHS for over 15 years who recommends a vegan diet to those who have health issues and you'll hear from a mum who was vegan whilst she was pregnant.
Whilst watching the video, can you spot any information that helps you answer the following questions?
Which three conditions do vegans suffer from LESS?
Do vegans need to worry about Calcium or B12 intake?
Is Vitamin D something that only vegans need?
Can mums-to-be remain on a vegan diet without putting their unborn child/children at risk?
What about infants? Will they get what they need on a vegan diet?
Does being vegan help babies suffer less?
