Low carb and Pregnancy?

prairieprana

Hi all,

So don't go telling the neighours (or my family for that matter) but by February 2016 ish my husband and I are wanting to start "trying" (if it happens before or after that's cool but that's our official go at making miniatures)

Anyway- does anyone have some resources on low carb or keto eating during and/or post pregnancy? I prefer this WOE but also want to be informed so I know what I need to produce a viable larva as well as have a realistic discussion with my OBGYN/Delivering medical staff.

Thanks again; happy Monday (and keep this tidbit to yourselves If our families know they'll ask non-stop about it. That will likely drive me to drinking regular coffee, as opposed to BPCoffee)

I haven't read about pregnancy and ketosis but I found some info online that may be helpful to you.

I didn't read through all of those links, so hopefully they lead you to the kind of information you are looking for.

I believe we have some members who have maintained their woe while pregnant. Hopefully one of them will come along soon!
