Let’s clear up the confusion about tuna in pregn Let’s clear up the confusion about tuna in pregnancy! Tuna can be safely included in your pregnancy diet. Especially do not avoid tuna if it is the only fish you will eat. Tuna is a fantastic source of protein, B vitamins, selenium, and even DHA and vitamin D, which are crucial for your baby’s brain and organ development. The difference is in mercury content: ✅ Canned Light / Skipjack Tuna: Lower in mercury. Enjoy 2-3 servings (about 8-12 oz) per week. ⚠️ White Albacore Tuna: Higher in mercury. Limit to one serving (about 6 oz) per week. 🚫 Bigeye/Ahi/Bluefin Tuna: Highest in mercury. Save this post as a reminder!!

Feeling tired, puffy, or crampy? This might be a h Feeling tired, puffy, or crampy? This might be a hydration problem. Drinking more water doesn’t always fix it, of course! And, if more water still isn’t helping, it’s often a mineral/electrolyte issue. Here’s why hydration matters in pregnancy: ✅ Blood volume expands → you need more fluid to support circulation ✅ Digestion slows → hydration helps keep things moving ✅ Even mild dehydration can trigger headaches, fatigue, and dizziness ✅ Cramping / “tight belly” moments can happen more often when fluids are low ✅ Hydration supports nutrient transport to you + baby If plain water is suddenly a no… you’re not alone. Try these hydration upgrades: • Electrolytes (sodium + potassium + magnesium) • Hydrating foods (fruit, yogurt, soups, smoothies) • Front-load fluids earlier in the day (so you’re not chugging after 5 pm) 💬 What’s hardest for you right now: water aversion, nausea, forgetting, or peeing 24/7? If you want weekly pregnancy meal plans + trimester-by-trimester support, and our electrolytes guide, try the app @theprenatalnutritionlibrary ✨ available with a free trial in any App Store 💚
