A LIFELONG vegetarian told she would never have children has given birth to triplets after she started eating meat. Laura Dixon, 34, turned to IVF after trying for ten years to get pregnant naturally, but during her second cycle of treatment she suffered a miscarriage. When she became pregnant during her final round of IVF, she was warned she had a high risk of another miscarriage or a dangerously early labour. So she started eating three portions of meat a day to increase her intake of iron, vitamin B12 and protein to improve her chances of a healthy pregnancy. Mrs Dixon, who had never eaten meat, tucked into chicken, bacon and sausages every day and at 35 weeks gave birth to identical boys Max and Mason and daughter Mia. The personal assistant from Chelmsford, Essex, said: "When the sonographer found a third heartbeat I remember shouting, "Oh no" and crying. After losing one baby to a miscarriage, I thought I would never be able to carry three. "But then my hunger kicked in and despite never eating meat I craved it. I ate about six meals a day. "The cravings were so strong I would wake up in the night and make my husband go and get me a McDonald's. Several times he had to go up to Nando's for chicken and chips with me."
thebug Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 You need meat to get knocked up.....that's not new.
DC Tom Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 It takes a REAL sense of humor to run that story with a picture of a salami.
Chef Jim Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 You need meat to get knocked up.....that's not new. But I always thought that eating it was the safest form of birth control.
Chef Jim Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Does this up my chances? Of getting pregnant? Sounds like it.
