Hello

kgbspygirl

Hi all! My name is Kate and I am newly pregnant. I don't really have any support from family but I have a good, strong network of friends. But even so, my friends are all artists types and none have kids. I hope that the Bump can help me through this! I'm a little nervous.

I live in a rough area of town by myself so I hope when I am showing I won't look like an easy target. 

I am also vegetarian and would like advice from any veggie mommies out there!

Awwhh! Hi! Just wanted to drop a line since we have some similarities in our stories - childless friends/big city/and for a while the veg thing...I was vegan for six years, vegetarian for something like ten years before that...and I worked at the biggest non-profit veggie promoting organization for a few years soOOoo even though I'm not veg now, I can still help you out with questions you might have

Hello to you too! I have been vegetarian for a while so I have that down but I will probably need advice when I am raising a vegetarian baby. Actually, I am making steps to go vegan. I don't mean to pry, but why did you stop? I have some vegan friends who really believe in it and a few are also soy free or gluten-free and they make the most interesting food. Was it too hard?

 You're lucky you have a husband to help you through this. Is this both your first child?
