Vegan pregnancy nutrition — B12, iron, omega-3, calcium covered

ACOG, RCOG and the Academy of Nutrition + Dietetics all confirm a well-planned vegan pregnancy is nutritionally adequate. The 'well-planned' is doing the heavy lifting: pregnancy B12 demand rises to 2.6 mcg/day, iron to 27 mg, choline to 450 mg, DHA to 200-300 mg. Most vegan diets without fortified products land at 0 / 12 / 80 / 0 respectively. Volya's nutrition engine flags every meal that misses these four — not at the end of the day when you can't fix it, but at the moment you log it.

Featured recipes already prove the math is doable: B12 power overnight oats (5.9 mcg from fortified soy + nutritional yeast), lentil coconut curry (7.2 mg iron + 7g fiber), chickpea-mock-tuna salad (3.5 mg iron, vegan B12 from nori). Pregnancy contraindications layer on the workout side automatically when you tick post_pregnancy (or its inverse, pregnancy_first_trimester / second_trimester / third_trimester — we honor ACOG's exercise guidelines per trimester).
