pregnant vegan trying to go 100% raw

ever since i went vegan, about 3 or 4 years ago, i've also been trying to go raw. for me, it isn't easy. the longest i lasted was 5 1/2 months and that was 1 1/2 years ago!

just this month i went to my 1st raw food potluck and was so inspired i stayed raw after that for 4 1/2 days before i fell off the wagon. i'm eating a lot of fruit and just ordered a sprouter online so i can start drinking wheatgrass juice. i want to be as healthy as possible for my pregnancy. i'm already 4 1/2 months pregnant, but it's never too late to start!

i also ordered a rebounder. for exercise, i go on walks and do yoga, and plan on adding in rebounding. i stay home and cook and clean for my husband who works like crazy.

unless i'm out on the streets desperate for money, i do not plan on getting a job unless i can work from home doing what i'm passionate about, which is raw health and natural energy fitness.

my husband and i want to have a very big, close family. family is very important to me and i have no interest in working my entire life in a stuffy office w/ air conditioning and chemicals. that isn't living, it's dying. i want to live and be a great mom and homeschool my kids.

i'm 23, my husband's 21. thanks if you read this whole thing, cuz i know it's long!

Hi, welcome,

Please check with your doctor about rebounding when you are pregnant. You might also want to google herbs not to eat when pregnant since you might be eating more herbs while raw than otherwise.

I just moved from Florida to Texas. If you are a Christian raw foodist you will find much support. Most raw foodist in Florida are fundamentalists.

Hawaii and Florida both have hurricanes. Something definitely to be taken into consideration. I didn't take it seriously enough until I was in it. Not an easy life.

Hawaii and Florida are light years away from each other culturally. Explore and make sure before moving. Florida was a beautiful place, but not a place I wanted to live. I'd like to visit Hawaii, but will never live where hurricanes threaten again. Also, would like to avoid sunamis. Also not fun. The dream is different from the reality.

Good luck with your raw pregnancy and babies!

RawVeganLove...

I have read that it may cause issues to your baby going 100% raw WHILE pregnant instead of before. The reason being is that you will start to detox and the toxins may effect the baby. So do check on that, I know there's info on the web about it and maybe you can talk to a healthcare person that works with people that are raw foodists (Call people that do colemas and ionic footbaths, I've found several in my area that are raw foodists and have clients that are and they have been a big help).

Also, which rebounder are you using?
