What are you craving this pregnancy?🤰🏼⁣
⁣
While some cravings can be partially explained, others are completely random.⁣
⁣
The body will tell you what you need if you listen close enough,⁣
⁣
if you have a strong urge to eat a certain food or avoid a certain food during your pregnancy, my advice is to listen!⁣
⁣
HOWEVER, if you are having strong cravings towards sweet foods and carbs your entire pregnancy, this may be due to your overall diet and nutrition.⁣
⁣
This often happens when your blood sugar is not under control, to which we can likely fix with a better balance of macronutrients.⁣
⁣
Are you overwhelmed trying to figure out what to eat during your pregnancy? 🤰🏼⁣
⁣
@theprenatalnutritionlibrary not only answers all the questions you’ve been googling since you found out you are pregnant, ⁣
⁣
but gives you clear, real life guidance to guide you through a healthy, feel-good pregnancy.⁣

What are sprouts and are they safe to eat during p

What are sprouts and are they safe to eat during pregnancy?? 🌱⁣
⁣
Sprouts grow from seeds from vegetables, grains, and beans. ⁣
⁣
The warm, humid environment that enables them to grow unfortunately also often becomes a breeding ground for growing bacteria, such as Salmonella, Listeria, and E coli. ⁣
⁣
Sprouts are a high-risk food during pregnancy when eaten raw for this reason‼️⁣
⁣
Remember, when it comes to food safety, no food is 100% safe or unsafe to consume during pregnancy, but there are factors that can significantly increase or reduce your risk of getting sick. ⁣
⁣
When sprouts are thoroughly washed and cooked until 165 degrees Fahrenheit, they can be eaten during pregnancy and carry a lower risk of contamination. ⁣
⁣
We’re diving into all things sprouts inside @theprenatalnutritionlibrary this week! ⁣
⁣
Here’s what you’ll learn: 👇⁣
>What are sprouts?⁣
>Are sprouts safe to eat during pregnancy? ⁣

>Are there ways I can make sprouts safer to consume during pregnancy, or should I always avoid them altogether?⁣
>Can sprouts be beneficial for pregnancy?⁣
>How can I safely incorporate sprouts into my diet during pregnancy?⁣

Is collagen beneficial for pregnancy?⁣ ⁣ Colla

Is collagen beneficial for pregnancy?⁣
⁣
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and glycine is the amino acid most necessary to make collagen!⁣
⁣
Collagen helps form the structure of your baby, their bones, connective tissue, organs, and also helps your uterus grow and placenta develop. ⁣
⁣
If you don’t get enough glycine from your diet, you can’t make sufficient collagen plus carry out other important functions glycine is involved in! ⁣
⁣
It’s ideal to get glycine from food, but you can find it in collagen supplements. ⁣
⁣
To dig deeper into your glycine needs during pregnancy and how you can meet them to maintain a feel-good pregnancy, join @theprenatalnutritionlibrary!⁣

It wouldn’t be a solid week here at TPN without

It wouldn’t be a solid week here at TPN without a choline mention! 👏⁣
⁣
Approximately 92% of pregnant women are deficient in choline (Nutrients. 2017 Aug 5;9(8):839. doi: 10.3390/nu9080839.).⁣
⁣
Shaw et al. found that, in humans, a higher intake of choline resulted in decreased risk of neural tube defects (2004).⁣
⁣
The neural tube forms within the first months of pregnancy, making choline extremely important for those planning a pregnancy and currently pregnant.⁣
⁣
Want to make sure you meet not only your choline needs during pregnancy but all the essential nutrients for you and baby?⁣

Which one has been the hardest?👇🏼⁣ ⁣ In

Which one has been the hardest?👇🏼⁣
⁣
In pregnancy, a lot of things are out of your control.⁣
⁣
This is hard because many of us want to control everything that happens. Unfortunately, we can’t.⁣
⁣
This is more true now than ever.⁣
⁣
Emotions run HIGH.⁣
⁣
Your body changes for someone else.⁣
⁣
And, everyone suddenly thinks they can comment MORE on your appearance.⁣
⁣
Uh, first off, no, but we have to learn to let these things go.⁣
⁣
Understand you can’t control everything that happens during your pregnancy (did you see a pandemic coming? nope, me neither.)⁣
⁣
Who cares what other people think about your choices during YOUR pregnancy. ⁣
⁣
Focus on what you can control and do your best with what you have and know.⁣
⁣
You got this, mama! 💕⁣
⁣
Having a community behind you and cheering you on helps too!⁣
⁣
TPNL ensures you feel confident in your daily food choices and does so with a supportive community of like-minded women! ❤️⁣

"So, I have an MTHFR gene mutation...what can I do

"So, I have an MTHFR gene mutation...what can I do to support my health pre and during pregnancy?" 🧐⁣
⁣
Everyone has two MTHFR genes, one inherited from your mother and one from your father. Some people inherit a variant or “mutation” of the gene that produces an MTHFR enzyme less efficient at converting folate into its primary form. ⁣
⁣
This is a topic I receive a lot of questions about.⁣
⁣
And focusing on the list pictured above is a great place to start. ⁣
⁣
Inside @theprenatalnutritionlibrary we are diving deeper into the MTHFR gene mutation. Here's what you'll learn: 👇⁣
⁣
>What is MTHFR?⁣
>What should I know about the MTHFR gene?⁣
>What does a suboptimal MTHFR enzyme mean for my health?⁣
>What about MTHFR during pregnancy?⁣
>How do I know if I have an MTHFR gene mutation?⁣
>What is the difference between folate and folic acid? ⁣
>So, I do have an MTHFR gene mutation, what’s next?⁣
>What else can I do to treat MTHFR and improve my health?⁣
>Hot off the press! Folic acid and MTHFR, newest research ⁣
>Other nutrients of importance⁣
