Last week, I overheard a conversation between two

Last week, I overheard a conversation between two women at a coffee shop. One had just found out she was pregnant.

She said:
"Now I actually have to eat."
She explained she often goes all day without eating and only realizes it at night.
Her friend? Same. They laughed and agreed, “It’s just how we are.”

🚨 But here’s the thing!!!
Skipping meals regularly isn’t harmless.
Especially if you’re trying to conceive or are pregnant.
It messes with your hunger cues, your energy, and your ability to get the nutrients your body (and baby!) needs.

👉 If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
Small, realistic shifts can make a big difference.
Inside the TPNL app, I’ll help you make it happen—with snack ideas, meal plans, and gentle nutrition support for every stage.

One of my favorite pregnancy nutrition topics 👉

One of my favorite pregnancy nutrition topics 👉 choline!!

An overall, well-rounded, nutrient-dense diet is one of the best things we can do both before, during, and after pregnancy to help support the development of your baby’s brain.

With that said, choline is a superstar nutrient specifically involved in brain development!!🧠

At an absolute minimum, you need 450 mg of choline per day during pregnancy, but if you’ve seen my posts or read up in @theprenatalnutritionlibrary, new research suggests up to 930 mg/day could be beneficial 😮!

We strongly recommend finding a prenatal vitamin with choline in it on top of prioritizing choline-rich foods!

👉🏼 learn how to meet your choline needs and find the right prenatal vitamin for you so you feel confident in growing 👶🏼🤰🏽 join The Prenatal Nutrition Library today (comment #TPNL below or head to the link in my bio)💛

Not all prenatal vitamins are created equal. And t

Not all prenatal vitamins are created equal.
And the research backs it up👇

📊 A recent study found that most standard prenatals aren’t cutting it, even when taken daily. Nutritional depletion during pregnancy is still the norm, not the exception. 👎🏼

But it doesn’t have to be that way!!
✔️ Eat nutrient-dense foods
✔️ Monitor key labs
✔️ Choose a well-formulated prenatal with active, bioavailable nutrients

The prenatal used in the study was @needed’s Prenatal Multi. Women taking it had significantly higher blood levels of essential nutrients than those on a standard prenatal.

Weight gain during pregnancy is personal! 👉 An

Weight gain during pregnancy is personal!

👉 And I get several DM’s every week about managing weight during pregnancy.

My motto: Meeting your nutrient needs + baby’s growth > the number on the scale!!

While science tells us we can’t completely ignore weight gain during pregnancy, focusing on including nutrient-dense foods and making sure baby is growing well are far more important than fixating on the number on the scale!

I created @theprenatalnutritionlibrary, so it’s easy for you to make the best food choices for two! 🤰🏼
