diet during pregnancy and big babies

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I am new to the list and have never posted before. I have been on

something resembling the NT diet for over a year. Now finally I have

a question for the group! I am pregnant and saw a midwife who told me

to avoid dairy because it contains " growth promoters " that may make

the baby too large to come out easily. According to her calculations

I have a small pelvis and the baby should not get above 7 lbs.

(Mostly she advocates eating vegetables and moderate protein.) She

thinks weight gain should be limited to about 20 lbs--I have gained

way more than this already, with a couple of months to go! I do not

agree with her perspective, since I don't think my main dietary goal

is to keep the baby from growing too much. However, I definitely want

to avoid a c-section. Do any of you on the list have experience with

eating Weston A Price-style during pregnancy? How did your births

work out, and were your babies really big? TIA!!
