Default I'm a vegan, is my baby going to get the nutrition he or she needs?

I have been on a strictly vegan diet for almost three years now and do not want to change what I eat. However, I have heard that a vegan diet can be dangerous for the baby. What are the risks and is there any way to make sure I have a healthy pregnancy anyway?

One can be pregnant and still have a healthy pregnancy. The biggest thing to watch out for is to get enough protein in your diet. You can use tofu to get protein in the diet and can consume nuts and grains in the diet. Be vigilant about adding protein to your diet every day and the pregnancy should remain healthy.

I think you should skip this dieting in pregnancy and eat healthy food.It will be better for you and for your baby as well.
