Veganism during pregnancy: Exploring experiences and needs of women following a plant-based diet
This study highlighted the confidence and pride pregnant vegans may experience, but also the challenges they face due to social stigma, misconceptions, cravings and nausea, and the need for better information and support. By addressing these challenges, healthcare professionals and communities can contribute to healthier and more informed vegan pregnancies, ultimately benefiting the well-being and health of both mothers and their infants.
