Plant-Based TTCers

[fbly]

Hi everyone,

I am new to mumsnet! My husband and I have recently decided to TTC! My husband is pescetarian and I am vegetarian (but mainly follow a vegan diet which I am getting better and better at transitioning to).

I was hoping to connect with other vegetarians and vegans who are TTC. I know from previous conversations with family that they think I should start eating meat again when we get pregnant in order to grow a healthy baby! I know this isn't true and if anyone has any recommendations of books / blogs / IGers etc who have researched this topic and have advice on optimum diet etc. I would love to hear about it :)

Thanks and I look forward to connecting with some fellow plant-based TTCers :) xx

Following as I'm vegan and about to start TTC my second baby, whilst I was pregnant with my first I wasn't vegan!

Hi @ilovechocolatebiscuits! That's interesting, are your partner and child vegan also?

@fbly yes! We became vegan about 5 months ago. My son is 15 months old and is thriving!
