Hi everyone,
Just wanted to give you all some awesome news. My baby now 4 months is a big boy. 18lbs already and about 28inches... I had an awesome pregnancy, very easy with mostly all raw and vegan food. I was not 100% but had been for about 4 years prior to that. I studied with Doug in Costa Rica back in 2008 and got to mee his wife and baby. My child Hayden is so aware and actually came out of the womb with wide open eyes and a big smile on his face. He was born at home in the warm water so I guess he enjoyed that!
Now because of my own mistake or simply because of fate, I still needed to go to the hospital afterwards to receive a blood transfusion. I did not have extensive blood loss and neither were my red blood cells that low prior but I probably could have taken more iron supplements - i took none during the pregnancy besides my pre-natal.
Now i am breastfeeding my baby and he is a very big boy.
It was hard to stay off the cooked carbs this winter, I wasn't too disciplined but I am back on track now and feeling amazing to be off of them.
With all the fruits I could eat last summer during my pregnancy I am happy to report I gained only 20lbs of belly and none anywhere else. It was all gone with the baby and I actually had to put some weight back on, mostly muscles.
So if you are wondering about having babies and being raw vegan, I wasn't 100% but I can tell you that being so healthy for years before gave me a perfect baby who so far has had no vaccines and zero illness - he is 4 months.
I would send you a picture but not sure how to do it here - you can find me on facebook.
Thank you Doug!
Love to you and your family.
