Hi All!
I'm new to Paleo/Primal eating and am expecting my first (yay!!! Due March 2017) and am wondering a couple of things:
1- any book recommendations on Primal/Paleo nutrition during pregnancy?
2- has anyone followed Primal/Paleo during their pregnancy? (If so what was your experience as far as your health, baby's health and milk production post-delivery?)
(My family has a SERIOUSLY STRONG history of diabetes both gestational for the ladies carrying babes and in general despite gender) - My eating has been "clean" thus far but I'd like to really tighten up my eating and nutrition even more especially to avoid gestational diabetes since I started my pregnancy heavy. (Weight gain has been pretty on track with my Dr's recommendations but she still wants me to watch my carbs, what kind of carbs and fill up on meat/produce/fats to keep blood sugar and insulin reasonable).
Any insight or referrals to good resources to read/research would be much appreciated.
Thanks and happy Sunday all!

I'm a midwife and holistic nutrition/functional medicine practitioner. I mostly encourage women to adopt a paleo style of eating during pregnancy! It can do wonders for your blood sugar control. If you need more help send me a message www.megreburn.com1

I'm pregnant and also doing Paleo, in order to keep autoimmune symptoms under control. My midwife and functional medicine practitioner both think it's great to continue while pregnant. I joined MFP mainly to make sure I'm eating enough. I got derailed a bit between first trimester and now a nasty cold that will never end and am ready to get back on track.0

Oops. Just realized you've already had your baby! You're probably not on here, but I'd love to hear how it went.0
