Vegans And Pregnancy

Vegan/Vegetarian mums, did you experience morning sickness/pregnancy nausea?

I had horrid pregnancy nausea with my first child to the point that I was hospitalized. I have read that diet before pregnancy plays a role, and those who consume less meat or dairy suffer less nausea. Can any vegan/vegetarian mum ascertain this?
ScProf – I’m not really expecting a miracle cure. Having less MS is a blessings in itself. I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum the last time, I can’t even keep water down. I even woke up in the middle of the night to vomit. Just keeping the sickness to one or two times a day is good enough incentive for me to go vegan

Yes, vegetarian moms are believed to have fewer food aversions during pregnancy. I’m vegetarian and have had only mild morning sickness through my pregnancies. This may be in part due to meat having a stronger odor/taste, while few vegetarian things trigger that same reaction.

I doubt that you could completely eliminate nausea and morning sickness (since that comes from rising hormone levels and not food aversions), but it probably can’t hurt to take red meat out of your diet and see what happens.

Good luck!
