Basically the title. I'm pregnant with my first child (seven and a half weeks) and my appetite has been odd to say the least. Some days, I'm starving. Others I'm almost repulsed by the thought of eating. Sometimes, there's only certain foods I actually want and tolerate. I'm taking a prenatal as a safety net. Anyway, I read that the recommended daily intake of carbs is around 175g for optimal fetal brain development. But, I've also seen where (unsurprisingly) higher levels of fat are being recommended. I've been eating predominantly meats, dairy, vegetables, and some fruit. An occasional sandwich or some other form of bread. Calorie wise, I think I'm getting about 1800 per day. Back to the original question, if you ate low carb while pregnant, how did your child turn out? How many carbs if any, do you think you ate per day? Thanks! I go to the OB on Monday.

I hope this won't get taken down. I tried to post in the animal based subreddit, but it wouldn't me. I am currently 6 weeks pregnant and am eating a whole foods diet, moderate amount of fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs, and some dairy, but I want to become more animal -based, if not full carnivore. My question is, how many of you if any, took a prenatal vitamin on carnivore? If not, what foods did you eat, how much and how is your pregnancy/baby? I don't want to over do it. (This is my first pregnancy, so I'm a little lost. First OB appointment is August 24th.) Thanks!
