Navigating a plant-based pregnancy can bring up a lot of questions, but getting clear, reliable answers shouldn’t have to cost hundreds in consultations. That’s why we teamed up as a plant-based group of nutrition professionals, trained in dietetics, to sift through the research and draw on our own personal experiences to answer the questions we get asked most.

Then we turned it all into this eBook: something approachable, easy to read, and full of tips you can actually use. Think of it like a trusted companion by your side, helping you feel more confident and at ease, every step of the way.

Everything you need, all in one place

There aren’t many resources out there for people choosing a plant-based pregnancy, and we know (also from personal experience) how overwhelming it can feel to piece everything together on your own. When we were putting this eBook together, one of the biggest questions we kept asking ourselves was, “Are we covering everything someone might need?”

Our hope is that this eBook is your one-stop shop. Answering questions like: What should you eat? What’s better to skip? How do you explain your choices without feeling judged? It’s filled with clear answers, practical tools, and nutrition guidance you can trust. The goal is to help you feel empowered and supported through it all.

FAQs

What sets this eBook apart from other pregnancy nutrition guides?

This eBook was made specifically with plant-based eaters in mind. It offers trimester-by-trimester support, practical symptom relief tips (e.g., food lists for when nausea hits), and clear supplement guidance with things like how much B12 or choline to aim for. It includes sample scripts to help you talk to your doctor or family if they’re unsure about your choices. And it’s packed with checklists, recipes, and visuals like the Plate Method to help make meal-building feel simple, not stressful. Everything is grounded in research, and validated by Sadia’s own lived experienced.

Does this eBook it include tips for when I feel sick, nauseous, or exhausted?

Yes, it does! We know those days can be especially tough, and you’re not alone in feeling that way. That’s why the guide includes gentle meal ideas and practical tips to help ease common pregnancy symptoms like nausea, fatigue, constipation, food aversions, and more.

What if I’m not sure about doing a fully plant-based pregnancy?

That's totally okay. This eBook is here to support you, no matter where you're at on your plant-based journey. You don’t have to be fully vegan to get something out of it. While all the tips and recommendations are based on a plant-based approach, you’re welcome to take what works for you and leave the rest. Everyone moves at their own pace, and that’s okay.

Will I still need to take supplements?

Yes, and that’s completely normal. During pregnancy, your body needs more of certain nutrients, and some can be hard to get enough of through food alone, no matter your diet. This guide lays out a simple, evidence-based supplement routine to help support your needs, tailored to a plant-based approach. It’s meant to take the guesswork out, so you can feel confident moving forward.
