Special Diets and Pregnancy
Are you on a special diet and thinking about a having a baby? If so, it's a good idea to consult with a doctor or a nutritionist before you start trying to conceive.
Whether your diet was prescribed by a doctor to control diabetes or another medical condition, or if you personally decided to lose weight, go vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or any other special eating route, your body could be lacking some important nutrients it needs to grow a new life.
Chat with your OB/GYN or a nutritionist to discuss whether you need to take any special vitamin supplements or re-introduce foods into your diet before getting pregnant. If you want or need to remain on a version of your special diet during pregnancy, your doc can help you make plans to modify it, if necessary, while you're trying to conceive and during your pregnancy.
Then once your health pro gives you the go-ahead, you'll feel great knowing that you're giving your baby and your own body the best possible start for a healthy pregnancy!
