Gas, what a fun topic to chat about as a dietitian... 🤓⁣
⁣
While it might be a little embarrassing, not only is it a normal bodily function, but it is very common during pregnancy.⁣

Although if you experience this frequently outside of pregnancy because of IBS or another digestive condition, you may be wondering if pregnancy is going to affect this? Make it worse? or interfere at all?⁣

How do you add protein to your smoothie??⁣
⁣
Smoothies can be a lifesaver during pregnancy when nothing sounds good to eat or you feel nauseous most of the day.⁣
⁣
You can get a lot of nutrients in one drink-⁣
⁣
buttttt they can be a big con for your blood sugar if you only load em up with fruits.⁣
⁣
✨ I suggest adding fat and protein to all your smoothies! ✨⁣

Have you craved milk this pregnancy? 👇🏼⁣

Have you craved milk this pregnancy? 👇🏼⁣
⁣
Many people think the milk craving is due to the calcium content, but it’s really due to the iodine.⁣
⁣
Milk, cow’s milk that is, is a major source of iodine!⁣
⁣
And, your needs during pregnancy go up 50% - Woah!⁣
⁣
Now, dairy doesn't just include milk! Dairy refers to any food product made from milk too, like yogurt, butter, cheese, heavy cream, cottage cheese, andddd ice cream!😋⁣
⁣
And with all the controversy about dairy floating around the internet you may be wondering....⁣
⁣
full-fat? skim? avoid it? eat it? are there even any benefits????⁣

"I have gestational diabetes, now what?”⁣ ⁣

"I have gestational diabetes, now what?”⁣
⁣
This diagnosis can seem daunting and scary.⁣
⁣
And, I’m going to be transparent, it’s very important for both mom and baby that it is well-managed.⁣
⁣
Try not to spend much (if any) time dwelling on the past, and focus on what you can do NOW!⁣
⁣
Carbs are the only macronutrient that significantly affects your blood sugar hence why they are the main focus, but!☝🏼⁣
⁣
A low-carb diet does not mean a no carb diet and the number of carbs your body can process is going to be different for everyone. ⁣
⁣
By simply pairing your carbs with a source of protein or fat (ideally both) you will help manage your blood sugars significantly.⁣
⁣
Concerned? or confused about what to eat with GDM??⁣
⁣
The Prenatal Nutrition Library’s got you covered! ⁣
⁣
Additionally, as a yearly member of The Prenatal Nutrition Library, you get a 30-day gestational diabetes meal plan or you can purchase it separately as a monthly member! 🙌🏼⁣

Should you avoid artificial sweeteners during preg

Should you avoid artificial sweeteners during pregnancy?!⁣
⁣
Let’s take a look 👇🏼⁣
⁣
The FDA identifies eight nonnutritive sweeteners on their “GRAS” list (generally recognized as safe). ⁣
⁣
But, really, this doesn’t tell us the whole picture.⁣
⁣
Consuming artificial sweeteners is not considered “toxic” like causing immediate harm to you or the baby, but that doesn’t mean they get the “green, go ahead flag.”⁣
⁣
This is because a growing body of evidence suggests artificial sweeteners can and do interfere with our health especially our gut microbiome (Doi: 10.1080/15287390802328630).⁣
⁣
They may also actually increase the likelihood of our offspring preferring “sweet foods” (doi: 10.1093/chemse/bjr050).⁣
⁣
- So, which artificial sweeteners should we avoid?⁣
- Which sweeteners should we choose instead?⁣
- Can artificial sweeteners affect our chance of conceiving in the first place?⁣
⁣

Let's talk about foods to avoid during pregnancy👇⁣
⁣
First, you know I'm all about debunking myths and helping you find food freedom with choices during pregnancy!⁣
⁣
There are SOOO many options that can be enjoyed during pregnancy and there should not be a mile long list of foods you need to avoid. ⁣
⁣
With that said, there are some foods, like the ones listed above, that are recommended to avoid during pregnancy because; ⁣
⁣
they are more likely to be contaminated and your immune system is slightly suppressed making your chances higher of getting sick from contaminated food OR we know they are linked to adverse outcomes for mom and baby. ⁣
⁣
Overwhelmed trying to figure out what to eat during pregnancy? 👇🏼⁣

I created The Prenatal Nutrition Library so you have one place to go for evidence-based answers!⁣
