Ketones in your urine while pregnant

shrinking · 05-13-2006, 11:45 AM

I have always mantained that I was going to continue eating low carb during this pregnancy. I am leary of being in ketosis though so I picked up some tests strips while at Walmart. I have moderate amounts of ketones in my urine according to the test. Now I am second guessing my decision to eat low carb.

What can I add to my diet that will not make me gain a ton of weight? Corn, peas, squash? Will eating more carbs lower my ketone levels? I am running out the door so don't have a lot of time to finish this post but do any ofyou have any ideas?

TIA!
