Diet question.

Hey im 17 and just turned 12 weeks. I went to the doctors yesterday and saw the babies heart beat. But I do eat mainly chicken, barely any red meat. I dont like the taste of it. Is this going to affect the growth of my baby?

i wouldn't be too concerned to be honest. take a good prenatal vitamin and i think you're fine. it shouldn't inhibit growth

Not if you are getting adequate nutrition.  Chicken is a perfectly acceptable protein source.  Did the doctor imply you should be eating red meat?
