Are you Vegan and Pregnant?
Pregnancy is a nutritionally demanding period in a Woman’s life. The demand for certain vitamins and minerals during Pregnancy is increased such as Folate, Iron, Calcium,
Vitamin D and Magnesium.
The greatest risk of deficiency in Vegan Pregnant Women is that of an Iron Deficiency.
Some Vegan Diets can be low in Iron, which may increase risk of Anemia. Thus, if you are Vegan it may be beneficial to take a Pregnancy Supplement that contains Iron.
Preggy-Mama is a Vegan Pregnancy Supplement (or vegan prenatal vitamins).
Each Preggy-Mama pack contains a 30-day supply of Multivitamin and Minerals Tablets:
- 30 x Multivitamin and Mineral Tablets

Yes, Pregnancy Vitamins taken on an empty stomach can make a person feel sick and nauseous. Some Women during their first trimester of Pregnancy develop “Morning Sickness” and thus anything that they take will make them feel sick.
It is recommended that you always take your Pregnancy Supplement with a meal to prevent you from feeling sick. Alternatively, if you are suffering from pregnancy-related Morning Sickness it is best to stick to a plain Folate Supplement like Stellar Activ-Folate in your first trimester of Pregnancy.
