These are all heme sources of iron….the kind fou These are all heme sources of iron….the kind found in animal foods that your body absorbs most efficiently! 🌱 Some plants (like lentils, spinach, and pumpkin seeds) also contain iron, but in the non-heme form, which isn’t absorbed as well. That’s why eating a mix of both is key, but if you’re struggling with low iron or anemia, heme sources are your main focus. Want to know exactly how to raise your iron levels and avoid (or fix) anemia? @theprenatalnutritionlibrary was made for you! 💬 Comment FREE to get the link to try it free and access all our iron resources so you can feel confident you’re supporting your baby’s growth 👶🏻

The first trimester is not the time to shame yours The first trimester is not the time to shame yourself for eating what you can tolerate 🫶🏼 Instead of stressing about eating “perfect,” start with the food that actually sounds manageable… then build around it. Examples: 🍞 Toast → turn it into French toast to get eggs (protein, fat, choline) 🧀 Crackers → choose an option with seeds or add cheese 🍓 Fruit → make a chopped fruit salad and “sneak” in pieces of avocado or try yogurt or cottage cheese with it 🥯 Bagel → add butter, cream cheese, or an egg if tolerated 🍲 Soup → if animal protein is out, add beans or lentils 🍝 Plain pasta → add butter + parmesan 🍥 Smoothies → blend in Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, or protein powder The goal is to get food in and try hard to get some protein with your carbs bc this really can help with nausea! Comment LIST1 and I’ll DM you: 1️⃣ more manageable protein ideas 2️⃣ cold, gentle drink ideas 3️⃣ zero-cook dinner ideas You got this — it is temporary! 💞
