Article on morning sickness. After reading it you'll happy to be raw Mums. Seems most women experience it with cooked foods and non vegan fare...I thought it was interesting...

During my last period I was not doing very well at eating alot of raw and I was soooooo sick. I couldn't hardly keep anything down. I was so sick.

Morning sickness is apparently a sign of a deficiency of alkaline minerals (the foetus draws so heavily upon the mother's alkaline mineral reserves, during gestation, that the mother is left with depleted reserves).

Yet another good reason to remember to..

Eat your greens! :)

In many cases even the smell and sight of food cooking is enough to bring on a wave of nausea. "When my wife was pregnant, she just saw a picture of meat cooking on TV and she had to run out of the room," said Samuel Flaxman, an expert at Princeton University, New Jersey.

Hey! I do that too and I'm not pregnant! ;) :D

I hope so! With my first I was so nauseated for 7 months straight - I did not want even to live, that I am sincerely afraid to become pregnant again. And for me meat was disgusting too - finally I stoped eating it for at least half year. Unfortunately I could not stand my favorite vegetable - cucumber too. The fruits were the only thing I liked.
I am raw now for 8 months, but mosquitos still bite me, and morning saliva ph is 5.5 - 6.0 which is still too low. I should eat more greens!

Do mosquitos stop biting if you've been raw for a certain period of time? Boy, would that be nice. It always seems like they zero straight for me!

Some rawfoodists claim it. Not trure for me - at least not yet!
