A rant about pregnancy cravings

This is not vegan-specific, but I am a vegan mom-to-be in the 2nd trimester of my first pregnancy.

I think my baby may be going through a growth spurt because I have had nonstop sugar cravings the last few weeks. I have been baking vegan goodies once a week, but then I seem to want to more on top of that.

I have my GD test next week and I’m honestly kind of nervous about it.

I was a pretty healthy weight pre-pregnancy and I’ve gained about 5lbs more than the recommended so far, mostly in the first trimester since I felt nauseous if I didn’t eat every few hours.

I do try and eat nutritiously during my main meals but my digestion has gotten so sluggish that I don’t really crave protein outside of big meals and seem to just want quick calories instead. I also take all my vitamins including a prenatal and iron supplement.

I know that if my GD test comes back fine it’s not a huge deal, but so long to eating healthy.
