Hello there all you lovely, intelligent folks!
I just found out that I'm pregnant...despite having taken emergency contraception.
I will not be having an abortion.
So I need some advice...should I change anything given my current situation?
I was doing a little bit more aspirin than usual (making sure to get vitamin K - I was eating kale,) because I thought it might help get the estrogen from the MAP (morning after pill) out of my system...but now that I'm pregnant...I wonder if I should be doing anything different?
I've been slacking a bit on my raw carrot salad, but this is (mostly) what a typical day looks like for me (in chronological order):
Coffee concoction (coffee, gelatin, sugar, coconut oil, aspirin.)
Raw carrot salad (grated carrot, coconut oil, white vinegar, salt.)
Milk, cheese, grapes (other fruits as available/ripe,) OJ, potatoes and sometimes beef throughout the day and for dinner, too (unless I eat out, in which case I just try my best to avoid PUFA)
Seafood about 1x a week *I had sushi the other night, I've heard that's bad for pregnant women! Any validity in that...?
I have thought about emailing Dr. Peat but I can't afford to pay him right now and I'm not comfortable asking for advice without sending compensation...(I could ask boyfriend to pay, but he already thinks I'm a Peat nut...don't want to start another debate about saturated fat and sugar, ha.)
If anyone could steer me in the right direction about this, I will send you hugs through the internet
