Is soy okay while pregnant?

[Allison]

With all of the info that came around a while ago about the "dangers" of soy I thought I read that soy might not be good for mothers who were pregnant with boys. Is there any truth to that?

A balanced diet with moderate use of soy is perfectly fine. :)

In fact, your baby boys are at more risk from <a href='http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050527/NEWS06/505270529/1012'>wearing makeup and perfume while pregnant</a> than soy could ever pose.

Here are some helpful articles on veggie pregnancy as well as soy:
