I'm only 3 weeks, I had a feeling things weren't quite right! I was feeling extremely tired, and thought I'd already paid my dues with detox, or not?!?!
I'm so wrapped, although such early day's a little bit of anxiety is there too. If things should go well for me, then I'm so confident that I'm doing the right thing bringing a raw baby into the world.
I hope I'll be free of all the symptoms that make pregnancies difficult if not damn right miserable.
I'm a little bit nervous about nutrients, but I've been a bit that way before now too. I'm learning fast and reading so much about what I get out of each food, and what I need for a healthy pregnancy. It's difficult cause there aren't a lot of resources for raw, or many examples that I know of besides Jinjee's pregnany, if anyone knows anything please let me know.

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you!
:)
There are a few more threads that address this (just do a search for pregnancy on the site)- I responded to one of them about a book that Hallelujah Acres puts out. It's about raw pregnancy and raising raw kids. Here's the link to the thread, they sell the book on their website. Go down to my post and it's there!

Congrats again!!!

Wahoooo!
How wonderful!! You mentioned something the other day about this possibility, so it's not a complete surprise. You must be just thrilled. Children are such a gift. How phenomenal that you've been raw the entire time and plan to continue this way. Can't wait to hear how it all goes with your raw pregnancy and raising him/her!!

Hey Sam,
Just wanted to congratulate you. I was browsing your journal earlier. Didn't realize you were from down under. Kiwi or Aussie?"One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star" - Nietzsche

That is terrific SamL!!!! How wonderful to be pregnant and raw!!!! Since I have discovered raw, it saddens me that I didn't know this information while I was pregnant (3x's) for 8 years of my life (it seemed, w/nursing and all throughout).
I'm really happy for you that you will be able to give your baby the best most wonderful start in life!!! I'm anixous to see if you get the common ailments associated with the big 'P'... keep us posted!
Good luck...
Melissa

That is so awesome! \0/
I was thinking about the conversation you and I had via PM...Your clean raw diet provided fertile ground, with lots of nutrients for the little one to grow & be nurtured in! :)
I wish you nothing but continued sucess as you integrate a high raw path into your pregnancy. You will certainly be an inspiration to many other raw mommies out there.
