[QUOTE="ringi, post: 2010458, member: 410240"] A unborn baby does not know what a mother is eating, all the bady cares about is that the mothers blood contains everything the baby needs. Hence the baby can get the carbs (glocose) it needs from the mothers blood. Therefore I believe there is no need for a mother to eat carbs unless her BG is too low. Remember that high BG is well known to lead to complications and use of insulin often does not results in ideal BG levels. Hence there is not a risk free option. Personally based on many traditional tribes eating nearly 100% (full fat) meat or fish diets, I don't consider keto in pregnancy to be an unreasonable option. Few doctors who surport keto in pregnancy are willing to say so, due to the legal costs/risk of the "carb lobby" deciding to make an example of them. (Consider what was done to Tim Noakes.) [/QUOTE]
