I contacted a midwife because I'm already searching for someone for when I get pregnant with #2. Anyways, in the email, I asked if she was okay with a vegan diet because that's important to me and I don't want a midwife who pushes me to drink milk or eat meat while pregnant (I was lacto-ovo while pregnant with my daughter). Anyways, she said it is fine, but vegans usually deliver early, around 37 weeks. I've never heard this before. I'll have to ask her more when I meet up with her, but I'm wondering, has anyone heard of any studies linking a vegan diet with short gestation?
