Welcome
!!!
I think if you are going the LC route, you should eat as many carbs as what makes you feel the best!! I also think 150 carbs is a bit on the high side. Do you have a reason for wanting to eat so many? When I first got pregnant I was a little worried bc I'd been VLC for a number of months and was feeling great, but unsure of how my WOE would affect (if it would at all!) my pregnancy. I did tons of reading and research regarding LC and pregnancy, everything I could find.
I decided to maintain my WOE since I already knew it was optimal for my own body, no reason to add stuff in that would only make my diet less nourishing. Turns out, it had a HUGE effect on my pregnancy, at least I think so. I had ZERO morning sickness. My energy levels have been great this whole pregnancy. I easily passed my glucose challenge. NO swelling at all, and I haven't been out walking for a couple of months now like I had been early in the pregnancy. I've been sleeping great except for having to pee all the time. And I'm thinking all of FAT I've been eating has helped so much in keeping away the stretch marks too, lol! I've only gained a total of 9 pounds as well, and baby has been growing on target, he's estimated to be around 7.5 pounds now, but we shall see very soon!!!
I have no complaints at all from this pregnancy. I'm closing in on 40 weeks, and I'm in no hurry at all, as I am quite comfortable and still feeling great. Maybe I am just lucky, but I think so much of all the great parts of this can be attributed to my excellent nutrition (even if my care providers don't agree with my WOE
).
I don't know much about the BF'ing while pregnant part, except that what I've seen women speak of most affecting supply is the amount of fluids they take in. I wouldn't worry about lowering carbs during pregnancy if that's your WOE. There is more and more stuff coming out regarding the positive impact of a lowered carb intake during pregnancy on overall fetal development. Dietary ketosis is no biggie, just stay well hydrated
