Goodness, Good news is everywhere!

Hello everyone! I'm new to this board, although I have been a Vegfamily fan for quite a while now. Hubby and I have been trying to get pregnant for over two years, and just last month I got the news I wanted, I'm pregnant!

I calculate that I am at about 6 weeks now, and I have my first Dr. Apt. on the 25th. I feel great, just a little tired at night.

We will beging telling our family this weekend (and I know it is REALLY early) but we just can't wait to tell them. We always were terrible at keeping secrets. I am trying to prepare myself for the barrage of questions about my vegan diet and this pregnancy - esp. from the parents. I have been a vegetarian for 13 years, and vegan for the past two. I feel great and look foward to a heathly vegan pregnancy!

I'm starting to get paings of worry about getting enough calcium, protien etc, even though I know I shouldn't worry - I'm taking pre-natals and folic acid just to be safe. Is anyone else out there taking supplements, like calcium, or others during thier pregnancy?

I look forward to "virtually" meeting everyone and with everyone the best of luck for our vegan babies!

WOW! Congratulations! You're right, good news everywhere!

That's reallllly awesome. Must feel incredible after trying for so long!

Yes, it is really amazing, I was totally not expecting to be ++++++!

I had even just made an apt. with an OB/GYN to begin discussing fertility options - luckily I had to change that appointment!

congratulations, it is so wonderful to have so many pregnant vegans around.

What is your due date? I should start keeping a list so we can see who is going next...

Yay! Congratulations! I can't imagine how great it must feel after trying for so long. (And hopefully I won't find out either, as my husband & I will begin the endeavor this year!) In case you've missed some of the other threads & didn't already know, make sure you get your B12 every day!
