Hi there!
I am afellow pregnant low-carber. I am 13 weeks along and doing a maintenance level of Atkins. I have only gained 2 pounds since I found out I was pregnant and my doctor is VERY supportive.
I have 1/4 of a honeydew melon or cantaloupe each morning and usually a cup of blueberries or strawberries with whipped cream for dessert each night. I also try to eat at least 3 servings of veggies each day. Definitely try to mix up the colors, that helps get a good variety of vitanutrients into your body (and the baby's growing little body!!)
I will echo what others have said by mentioning that I have had NO morning sickness at all and really feel great! Both my mom and sister had major sickness with their pregnancies and can't believe I haven't had anything, so I definitely think it is thanks to the low-carb woe.
Anyway, I WANT TO START A PREGNANT THREAD in the buddies section. Would you be interested in posting there on a semi-daily basis to compare notes, offer moral support, etc??
BTW, congratulations
