    Iron. Lots of iron. Sorry, that's all I remember. I was a meatosaurus while pregnant with both of my kiddies.
    love,
    mom

    Start taking all the B vit is you already don't. Am not a big fan of to much soy during pregnancy all the estrogen in it.. so Rice milk and such?. I was Veg for a long time before i started this preg and one day I woke up with the biggest craving for meat and I gave in. It really does make me sick to eat it but I guess my body needed it at the time. drink tons of teas to get your iron up Nettle. Dandelion ect.. and make every protein a complete protein.

    Start taking prenatal vit as of now.

    I hope the best for you good luck!
