Having a really difficult time being a vegetarian during this pregnancy.. All the normal protein…
Having a really difficult time being a vegetarian during this pregnancy.. All the normal protein foods I love make me sick to even think of. I just want meat!! I wonder if I can just eat chicken during the pregnancy and go back to being vegetarian after or is that totally cheating😭

Were you always a vegetarian? Or is it something new? If you’ve always been then i would say do not cheat!! And if you are new to it well
Go

I’ll be going on my 10th year this Jan. I don’t want to break my streak and most likely won’t but man am I craving protein. I love protein drinks honestly but makes me nervous during pregnancy. I’ve heard you get sick after not eating meat for so long. I really don’t think I’ll go back. I just need to figure out something that I can get down that’s full of it

I remember my midwife telling me that protein is important during pregnancy (because I went off meat for a bit) and she tried to encourage me to eat more of it. I never asked why though ! But I’d suggest that if you’re craving it then to have it for sure !

I’m curious how long you have been veggie as well. I’ve been a long time vegetarian (newly vegan) and I didn’t consider eating meat during pregnancy. What are the foods that are turning you off? Maybe I can suggest alternatives that will work. For some reason, the idea of quinoa, Mexican food, and pizza made me ill during pregnancy. I normally love those foods. Pregnancy is so weird haha.

@harloeagain21, yes it must just be the protein you are craving! There are so many way to get protein, but I don’t want to list off a bunch of foods in case it gets you nauseous, unless you want me to. If you like protein shakes, I would ask your doc. I’ve never heard of them being bad. Nut butters and spinach can add more protein if you are ok with those foods.

would you mind private messaging me some foods. Sometimes if I hear it, it sounds good. If you don’t mind

I sent you some ideas.

Eat the protein your baby NEEDS! Your body is probably craving it for a reason. If you wanna be a vegetarian again after then go ahead
