QUESTION 🙋‍♀️ Any mums to be out there th QUESTION 🙋‍♀️ Any mums to be out there that are newly vegetarian or vegan and wondering how to dodge the inevitable question of 

“ Now that you’re pregnant 🤰 where are you going to get all your iron from if you don’t eat meat?” 🙄 

⭐️Amazingly 2020 became the year that every one of the top UK supermarkets had their own vegan range and every one of the top UK restaurants and food-to-go outlets had a vegan (or plant-based) offering. ⭐️

YES 🙌 

So, yes it is possible to manoeuvre your way through pregnancy and still maintain a plant based diet, BUT we just need a little more PLANNING 

Iron is a fundamental mineral needed for the normal growth and development of your baby and women can often suffer from iron deficiency during pregnancy. ⠀⠀

If you are concerned about your Iron levels during pregnancy, please consult your doctor or midwife, who will be able to carry a blood test to determine if you’re deficient.  For those following a vegan lifestyle I’d definitely advocate for getting your levels tested, especially if you are recently new to a vegan lifestyle. 

Because iron found in plant based foods isn’t absorbed as easily as that found in animal products, we need to make sure we include a full range of green leafy vegetables, beans, lentils, seeds and iron rich fortified cereals. ⠀⠀
Vitamin C has also been shown to enhance the absorption of iron from plant-based sources. ⠀⠀

Vitamin C is a fat-soluble vitamin and is not stored naturally in the body so regular consumption of vitamin C rich foods throughout the day will aid in your body’s ability to absorb iron. ⠀⠀

The recommended daily intake (RDI) is 27 mg per day for pregnant women. ⠀⠀

Excellent sources of plant based Iron include:
⠀⠀
Pulses (such as beans, peas and lentils) ✔️ Green leafy vegetables (such as watercress) ✔️
Wholemeal, seeded and wheatgerm bread✔️
Quinoa✔️
Iron-fortified breakfast cereals✔️
Dried apricots and figs✔️
Sesame and pumpkin seeds✔️ ⠀⠀

Give me a 🙋‍♀️ if you’re running yourse Give me a 🙋‍♀️ if you’re running yourself in to the ground right now❓

Are you 
▪️Homeschooling
▪️Working from home, 
▪️Trying desperately to stay on top of the washing, ironing and generally keeping the house from looking like a total 💩 storm and failing miserably.... ? 

We’re all juggling so many balls at the moment, teacher, carer, parent, worker - the list is endless. I’m back at the match sticks in my eye scenario of last lockdown 😴 

We all know that eating well and staying active is important for both our physical and mental wellbeing. 

BUT for many (me included) daily routines are all over the show right now and our eating habits are sadly one of the first things to take a hit when routine flies out the window. 

When we’re pushing ourselves to the brink we need to fuel not just our bodies but our brains too with a constant supply of energy.

And because a drip to a constant supply of caffeine is a no go- we need to put aside time to ensure a supply of nutrient dense snacks is at our disposal to make sure we have the fuel to keep going, and tackle year two maths 😫😫😫

Stay safe ladies, I’d love to hear from you in the comments, let me know of any survival tactics you’re using  and help a girl out please. 

Lots of love xx 😘
