Google is like a bittersweet moment-⁣ ⁣ First,

Google is like a bittersweet moment-⁣
⁣
First, it’s sweet; “Google says avoid soft cheeses during pregnancy, got my answer!”⁣
⁣
Then, it’s bitter; soft cheeses are pasteurized in all major grocery stores and completely fine for pregnancy!⁣

⁣
#1 don’t panic⁣

Are potatoes safe for pregnancy? Beneficial? 🤔⁣
⁣
All types of potatoes are safe to consume before and during pregnancy!⁣
⁣
Beyond carbohydrates, potatoes are a good source of essential nutrients like vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, and fiber too!⁣
⁣
🥔 Potatoes should be firm and not soft. And it’s best to avoid potatoes with green spots or sprouts like the ones pictured above! 🍠⁣
⁣
When potatoes begin to sprout, compounds in them called glycoalkaloids rise, which makes them not ideal for consumption. ⁣
⁣
If you do consume small amounts of glycoalkaloids it is okay, but best to avoid consumption during pregnancy. ⁣
⁣
You CAN cut the sprouts off, but it is likely these compounds have already spread throughout the potato. ⁣
⁣
Learn more about potatoes in this week's new note inside @theprenatalnutritionlibrary. ⁣

"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!☝🏼⁣
⁣
Managing gestational diabetes does NOT you mean a no-carb diet and elimination all of your favorite foods.⁣
⁣
It's finding shifts and adjustments we can make! ⁣
⁣
For example, 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??⁣
⁣
@theprenatalnutritionlibrary has got you covered! ⁣
⁣
Additionally, as a yearly member of TPNL you get a 30-day gestational diabetes meal plan or you can purchase it separately as a monthly member! 🙌🏼⁣
⁣
Yes, it includes desserts! 😋⁣

We’re officially turning the corner into summer!

We’re officially turning the corner into summer! ☀️⁣
⁣
And with summer comes picnics and cookouts too. ⁣
⁣
You CAN still enjoy (most) cookout foods when you're pregnant,⁣
including a hot dog or hamburger- as long as they are cooked thoroughly!⁣
⁣
But, keep in mind, your immune system is slightly suppressed during pregnancy, so being food safe and food aware is extra important!⁣
⁣
Of course, always be sure to wash your hands.⁣
⁣
And, remember, food should not be left out for more than 2 hours- and not more than 1 hour if it's above 90 degrees out.⁣
⁣
✨ I want to make sure you all feel confident in your food choices year round, holidays included, if you are TTC or pregnant. ✨⁣

Struggling with nausea? 🤢⁣ ⁣ “Morning sic

Struggling with nausea? 🤢⁣
⁣
“Morning sickness," [quotes because we know it doesn’t only happen in the morning], is super common in pregnancy!⁣
⁣
It ranges from mild to severe and some women escape it completely!⁣
⁣
It’s definitely HARD to get full meals in, nonetheless get super healthy things down during this time, but there are many things you can try to help; like ginger, upping vitamin B6, or adding an essential oil diffuser to your workspace!⁣
⁣
In a double-blinded study by Yavari kia et al., at least 25% of women found the inhalation of a lemon scent to be helpful in reducing their nausea (2014).⁣
⁣
While ingesting essential oils is not recommended during pregnancy, letting them flow through the air is just fine.⁣
⁣
Maintaining a feel-good pregnancy can be challenging through nausea, food aversions, cravings, and more...⁣

Are charcuterie boards safe during pregnancy?!⁣

Are charcuterie boards safe during pregnancy?!⁣
⁣
Charcuterie boards are popular and there is a wide variety. I’ve even seen s’mores boards! Sign me up! 🍫⁣
⁣
Typically though, they are some variations of the foods pictured above [deli meats, cheeses, dried fruits, fruit, nuts, seeds, and crackers].⁣
⁣
Swipe for a few tips to keep in mind, and remember: ⁣
⁣
1. Simple food safety practices are key (i.e. food should not be left out on the counter for more than 2 hours, and produce should be thoroughly washed before consuming) ⁣
⁣
2. Almost all cheeses sold in the U.S. are pasteurized, but of course, you can ask! ⁣
⁣
3. Best practice with deli meat is to heat to 165 F. The risk of contracting listeriosis is very rare. It’s ultimately a personal decision weighing the risks to avoid, heat, or eat it cold.⁣
⁣
You definitely don't have to completely skip on the charcuterie board! 🙌🏼⁣
