Hi all! Thanks so much for the advice and well wishes. I went in for the ultrasound today and the baby is PERFECT. Measures exactly 26 weeks 4 days, which is what I am. Pretty much everything that...

Hi Yoga Star!

Sorry for the late reply- I'm not online much these days. I'm due July 14th! When are you due?

You are totally right about people freaking out when something is out of the norm. ...

Hi all,

I restarted raw about 6 weeks ago, after being on a primarily ovo-lacto diet during the first half of my pregnancy. After 6 weeks being back raw, I went on another checkup at my midwife's...

Hi ladies,

I can only give my own (limited) experience with this, since I am currently pregnant with my first. I will admit it was tough for me during the 1st trimester, and all I wanted to eat...

I would give her the antibiotics. Typically I am very anti wester medicine, but scarlet fever caused many cases of blindness and death in children in the past. I'm sure you would never forgive...

ALL rad high speed blenders are loud! :p My blendtec is loud and so is the vitamix (I use those at work). Its just the price you pay to have deliciously smooth green smoothies (although hubby does...

Wow Aleesha, you look incredible. Your before and after is amazing, and you look great and glowy at that weight! I can see why you say you love it! :)

It really doesn't surprise me that they do that. Most restaurants that you eat at also will wash their greens with a solution that is bleach or chlorine (about a tablespoon) to a few gallons water. ...

That's great!! How rewarding! :) Isn't it fun to see how raw works, even when you eat all kinds of tasty treats (That would typically be verboten on a cooked "diet") :D

It doesn't look to me like...

I can only give you my personal experience (and thus opinion) so far. I'm almost 24 weeks pregnant now, and my midwife actually encourages a raw diet, especially over a cooked vegetarian one. ...

50?! No way! You look fab!

Hi Yogastar! Thanks for the motivation! :) I'm already feeling better being back raw again, and I think it is really helping me already. I'm motivated to STAY raw the rest of the pregnancy and also...

I guess it depends on how you look at it! :) For me, I'm ok with high tech (I kind of like it actually, in a nerdy way), but for some people I could see it being a con.

I have my preset 4 set to...

You have a lot of great suggestions here. My only advice (and the only thing that has worked for me with friends/family who question or oppose my lifestyle) is simply to not care. I know that is...

I have experience with both. I have used the vitamix 5 days a week for the last year at my job, and I use the blendtec about half as often at home for about the same length of time. Here is my...

I'm sure you are fine! I wish I was in your boat... already gained a lot so far by eating cooked vegan foods...

I'm doing a home water birth too! I think some of my friends think it is weird, but...

Wow, I wish I hadn't been gaining so much weight! I was more cooked vegetarian during my first 19 weeks of pregnancy, with a lot of raw foods, and I'm already up 15 lbs by 23 weeks. Just think how...

Aww. thanks everyone! :o I really didn't post this so that you would all say nice things (although I'm really flattered! :p) but hopefully to show how raw really made a difference for me, not only in...

Thanks for the comments! Actually, I'm not pregnant in either of the photos, I'm afraid I don't look quite as good right now as I did in my "after" pic, but I'm hoping that by continuing being raw...

I thought I'd post to motivate myself also, and maybe others too! The first photo of me I'm about 160 lbs (I'm 5'7 1/2"), pre-raw, mostly unhealthy vegetarian and I was going out a lot to bars and...

Hi there! I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my first. Admittedly, when we conceived I was mostly high raw (70-90% on any given day) and was baking some vegan stuff and cooking vegan foods. During my first...

Hi Zaphira,

I have a few comments for you. The first is, that while some people do marvelously well with coconut oil as a cleanser, some do not. I found that when I was juice feasting and...

I wanted to add too, that Jinjee said she had a similar problem in one of her interviews with Revvell. She said she has an "addictive personality" and that many raw goodies were "gateway" to cooked...

Is this safe to use while pregnant? I just got back to my raw vegan lifestyle 20 weeks into my pregnancy. The only reason I slipped was I was nauseous during my first trimester, started eating...

You can buy thai iced tea bags, and make a raw iced tea (just keep the temp low on the water), and then substitute a thick cashew mylk or macadamia mylk for the condensed milk, and add agave and ice....
