Starting raw while trying to get pregnant

[mamatofaith]

This is my first post but I've been on here reading for a few months.

I'm just starting raw eating (as in I'm starting tomorrow). I've dabbled in it in the past and am planning on jumping in. My husband and I are planning on getting pregnant within the next few months. I know it's safe to eat raw while pregnant, I'm just questioning if it's safe to be in the beginning stages of raw while pregnant. If I were to be a month into raw before getting pregnant, would that be okay? I'm concerned about detox affecting the pregnancy. Do you think detox would be mostly complete within a month?

Thanks!!

I don't think you have anything to worry about. In fact, it might help conception because it will allow your body to focus on more important things than digesting heavy SAD food. (Eat lots of pineapple - its supposed to help with implantation - don't know if its an old wives tale but it sure is yummy). Congratulations on giving your baby the best start and good luck!!

I was incredibly fertile eating raw -- one shot and got pregnant. I can't imagine that eating raw would do anything other thing help be healthy!

.... one shot....

That's way too visual for me.
