I started eating raw a few weeks ago. I was planning on just doing it to lose my last few poundds from baby #2 (now 13 months). Well, I dropped my last 8 pounds and felt fabulous. My fatigue is gone, my back doesn’t hurt, and my skin and body are glowing so I decided that the raw way of life is totally for me. Well, I just found out I am pregnant with baby #3! I know being raw during pregnancy is more than OK, but my fear is that since I am still detoxing, my baby be absorbing the toxins I am releasing. I’d love to hear thoughts on this subject and any thoughts and ideas on how to have a raw and fabulous pregnancy. I have already ordered jinjee’s ebook “Raw Pregnancy, Ecstatic Birth” which should be quite helpful, but I want all the info/resources I can get!

Dear Casserole,
You have a good point. In my opinion, I would say while raw, the baby would not be ingesting any additonal chemicals or toxins, and would feel as good as you do. I hope this helps, I’m a big fan of Jinjee and Storm and their lovely children, I’m sure she’ll put your mind to ease!!
Drink lots of red raspberry tea during entire pregnancy; it’s God gift to women. Carrot juice has lots of usable calcium for growing babies. Keep it up. EFA’s: avocado, soaked nuts, flax seed soaked. Greens, veggies, has lots of vitamins and minerals.
