Anyone out there who was pregnant and still continued with keto?

    I was put on low-carb during my last pregnancy due to gestational diabetes. My baby was born healthy and is a 6-year-old super genius. Unfortunately, I wasn't low-carb enough and still had a high A1c 6 months after the birth. I then went keto. I breastfed him exclusively until he was 21 months. If I had to do it again, and knew then what I know now, I would have done keto through all my pregnancies.

    All your baby needs from you is a varied diet with good micronutrients, good hydration and electrolyte levels, and enough calories. I'd make sure I did 50g though.

    There's a ketobabies Reddit if you'd like to hear more.
