Raw Fruitarian Pregnancy and Birth: My Experience and What to Expect | Sarah Bisarello

Sarah shares her raw fruit-based pregnancy, contrasting it with her previous non-raw experience.

After dedicating two years to systematic detoxification and cleansing alongside her husband, Sarah knew her body was ready to conceive when detox symptoms subsided and she felt genuinely vibrant and strong.

During her raw vegan pregnancy, she maintained normal fruit intake while adding green juices and large salads with sprouts, seeds, and nuts.

Living in Hawaii provided her with abundant tropical fruits, which she consumed according to seasonal availability.

Unlike her first pregnancy, where she experienced nausea, emotional fluctuations, and gained 68 pounds, Sarah's raw fruit pregnancy brought energy, emotional stability, and a modest 28-pound weight gain.

The most striking difference appeared during birth. Her first delivery lasted 38 painful hours with significant tearing, while her raw fruit pregnancy concluded with an astonishingly brief 15-minute labor involving just four contractions, no pain, and no pushing.

Her recovery was equally impressive—she was walking normally immediately after birth and hiking within five days, with her midwife noting the fastest uterine recovery she'd ever witnessed.

She attributes these dramatic improvements to reduced acidity in her tissues, emotional groundedness, and overall physical flexibility.

Sarah's Piece of Advice to Mothers

• It's worth taking the time to cleanse before conceiving. This pre-conception cleansing creates significant growth on both physical and emotional levels.
• Healing your body, heart, and emotional stressors will make a world of difference.
• Working through "mommy and daddy issues" and allowing each organ to cleanse is important preparation.
• A pre-detox or cleanse won't guarantee for everyone the same experience Sarah had, but she firmly believes the benefits extend beyond just pregnancy and birth—they contribute to being a happier person overall for your child.
• This preparation work leads to feeling good throughout the entire journey from pregnancy to motherhood.
