No, I wasn't a vegeterian when I was pregnant for the girls. And you are right about other pregnant women. I have a confession. . .. I ate a lot of sugar puffed rice cereal. Now tell me, how healthy was that? It was funny when I would eat it before a non-stress test. Anna would be jumping around so much. But my relaxing Lilly would hardly budge. . . > > Get some rest.

We're late starters (I'm 35, he's 41), but I wouldn't change a thing. I've enjoyed my life and now I'm ready to give it to a beautiful child. Have you heard of Dr. Greene? He says that the more vegetables you eat while pregnant, the easier it is to get your children to eat them as you introduce solid foods. I like many of the things he says, here's his website: http://www.drgreene.com/ I think the biggest challenge I'm going to have bringing up vegetarian children in Iowa is the whole school issue. Unless we move, there are no alternative schools right near us and the only private schools are catholic-based. James really wants to home-school, but unless we can actually start making/saving money and he does the home-schooling, I don't see us being able to afford that, either. Well, at least I have five years to contemplate that! The first year will be easy because I'll be breastfeeding and making my own baby foods. After that I'll just have to find a day care that respects our choices and works with us. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
