hi everyone!
my husband & i are going to start trying for our first in a couple months... (nov/dec/jan) and i REALLY want a baby girl! i've done a lot of research, but always end up more confused! i have been vegan/plant based for a year, and have not had any red meat in about 5 years. husband is also vegan/plant based. we both do cardio everyday and eat very well... smoothies packed with superfoods, veggie bowls, etc etc. currently everyday i have spirulina, barley grass juice powder, zinc and vitex(to regulate my periods) after doing research i am trying to figure out what i need to eliminate from my diet to help sway baby girl. this is what i have so far:
NO SALT, BANANAS, OR POTATOES
WILL STOP SUPPLEMENTING WITH SPIRULINA AND BARLEY GRASS JUICE POWDER
NO CAFFEINE
WILL NOT EAT TILL AROUND 11 AM
what i will eat; dark leafy greens, broccoli, peas, zucchini, blueberries, strawberries, pomegrante seeds(?), peppermint tea ( honestly, i eat all of that stuff right now on a daily basis... maybe a baby girl is meant to be ;)... )
i will supplement with folate and iodine from kelp. and i guess i will keep the vitex in my diet, unless i shouldnt. i will continue to workout almost everyday.
SOO with all that said, should i be doing anything else? eliminate some of the stuff i said i will be eating?!
PS if i need to repost this somewhere else just let me know, or if i need to pay for something first! first time on this site and im confused.
THANKS everyone in advance ! xxx
PS thought i should add... i season my veggies w garlic, eat a few avocados/week, i am obsessed w cranberry juice! (no sugar added) and when i say i drink tea, i mean i drink several cups a day! mostly peppermint and rooibos, but i probably have 30 diff types of tea!
OK im done now! thx everyone!
