Hello Ladies,

I'm Pregnant...I just found out!! Dh and I have been ttc for a long while.

I was eating raw over the summer and I would like to be 100% raw for this pregnancy...and forever after that!!

Any ideas on what I need to eat? What I should make sure to eat alot of??? Etc.

What raw foods are High in Folic acid and why is cooked spinach higher in folic acid than raw?

Congratulations to both of you. How awesome that you are doing it raw. Keep it raw for all the 9 months, it is worth it. I was raw during my pregnancy and I loved it. Do not worry about what to eat just listen to your body and eat what you feel like eating. And I do not believe that supplements do anything but do as you think is right.
Keep it raw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck and best wishes
