Guest guest Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 My husband and I would like to get pregnant in the not to distant future. We have been eating traditional foods to optimize our baby-making potential for the past few months, and plan to continue to do so. The sources about foods to eat on the WAP and Nourished Magazine as well as the Nourishing Trad. Cookbook are pretty limited on this subject. My MAIN concern for this post is that I am getting enough Folic Acid. I know this is very important for a baby's development. Of course I am eating lots of leafy greens, as well as about 2 tsp. raw, frozen liver daily which one article mentioned is high in Folic Acid. I would prefer not to take a supplement, but it is hard to tell how much folic acid is enough. Has anyone else heard if these foods are providing enough folic acid for me? Does anyone know a trad-foods friendly midwife who may know that answer more specifically? I am also drinking about 32 oz. raw milk daily, 2 eggs daily (usually raw), coconut oil, lots of butter etc. Thanks. Hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
