Fwiw, as someone you don't know from Adam, I was veggie for 15 years before getting pregnant, wherupon I found that *for me* I needed to add meat into my diet for the next approx 4-5 years during which I was either pregnant, breastfeeding or both (bf and 2nd pregnancy overlapped.) Baby 2 breastfed til he was 5, but after a couple of years I figured his intake/my output wasn't significant enough to continue to cause me issues, so I cut meat out again, and have been veggie again for the last 5 years. The pregnancy/bf period felt like a discrete period when my body's needs just were different, and then when that wasn't the case any more it was not a problem to return to the previous status quo. I might even have done it sooner, but I have ME which added a complicating factor in terms of energy levels etc. I hope this random anecdata from a stranger is of some help/comfort/interest to you, and I hope everything goes brilliantly for you :-)
