I read a article that said that women who are on a Low Carb diet while TTC or Pregnant can Miscarry or even Kill their Fetus because of the Ketones that are formed from not eating Carbs and Sugers....
Kind of scary in this crazy Low carb world....

I find that particularly scary because my doctor had me on a low carb/sugar diet so that I COULD conceive...

Re: LOw carb and Miscarriages
That was in one of my nutrition books. Some doctors will recommend a moderately low carb/sugar diet in terms of cutting out refined sugars and white flour products but that would then be replaced by carbs in the form of whole wheats and vegetables. My friends doctor had her do this because she was gaining too much too fast.
It's when you lo-carb to the point that your body goes into ketosis that you're endangering your baby.

Re: LOw carb and Miscarriages
I dont' know about this study, but I did hear an interesting one about dieting in general while TTC and how they have found that women that are dieting when TTC have a much harder time getting pregnant.
I was dieting though, AND it was lo-carb. So who knows.
