Yes: But... If i were going to choose one time in life to opt for more organic food choices, it would be during pregnancy and early childhood. Early development is a time of great opportunity. We want the best building blocks and the fewest toxic exposures. Switching to organic foods can help with both.

Yes: Rather than focusing on organic vs nonorganic (which is a hard question to answer), focus instead on eating mostly unprocessed foods, mostly a plant-based diet.

No: I think it is more important to avoid processed foods. There is not much research on organic vs non organic foods and effects on pregnancy and birth.

Yes: Decreasing the amount of harmful chemicals and pesticides during pregnancy is a good idea, however some foods are not exposed to the same level of chemicals as others.Those without thick a protective outer cover are more susceptible during the growing process and therefore require more chemicals and pesticides e.g. Blueberries, strawberries.
