Yes.
Pregnancy requires a certain amount of fats to be present in order to conceive. You will also need enough protein in your diet to be fertile (and to bring a pregnancy to term). Some people cannot process plant protein well enough alone to achieve this needed level and must supplement.
It is always best to consult your doctor and discuss your diet with them in detail to determine if you're getting the right nutrition in order to conceive.

∙ 12y agoIt shouldn't. Vegetarians sometimes find complications in pregnancy from not getting the proper vitamins and nutrition needed for the healthy growth of a baby, but as long as you do a little research, and make sure you're getting everything your body needs, the baby should be fine.
If you're worried, talk to your doctor, they should be able to give you some advice to point you in the right direction.
