The Vegan OB Patient

The rate of vegetarianism in the United States is dramatically on the rise. While in 2014, a national survey found that only 1% of the US population considered themselves vegetarian, current estimates put that number up to 6%. But not all vegetarians are the same. Is being a strict vegetarian (a.k.a., vegan) associated with any adverse perinatal outcomes? Does being vegan increase your risk of preterm birth? In this episode, we will cover the latest data on how diet can affect perinatal outcomes, and in-utero metabolic programming of the child. 🥑🥗🍎🍇🍊🌾🌾
