Did I miss any typical Super Bowl snack foods??

Use standard food safety practices as usual, i.e., keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Do not eat foods left out for longer than 2 hours.

Avoid anything that looks “questionable” and trust your intuition. It is not worth your peace of mind to eat something you are heavily questioning.

✨ Don’t forget @theprenatalnutritionlibrary app exists!
👉🏼 You can look up the safety of any food, drink, or ingredient, or ask the dietitians via the ‘ask an RD’ feature if it’s not there (this is also searchable)!

What makes a good pregnancy snack??👇🏼 Most

What makes a good pregnancy snack??👇🏼

Most of the time, your snacks should include the nutrients that keep you full like protein and fiber.

A kiwi is a great choice but alone, it likely won’t satisfy you or keep you full.

Upgrade your kiwi with a handful of mixed nuts or slice it and add it to a yogurt!

The first trimester can feel like you’re living

The first trimester can feel like you’re living in a constant loop of:
“What can I eat?” “Is this safe?” “Am I messing this up?” 🤢💛

If your brain is tired from Googling and your stomach is giving mixed signals… you’re not alone.

That’s exactly why I built TPNL: to give you one trusted place to get reassurance without the rabbit hole.

TPNL is your calm corner. 😌
A place to check something fast, get a real answer, and move on with your day.

Inside the app:
✅ Pregnancy Food Checker for quick “safe or not?” reassurance
✅ Learn-by-stage support so you don’t feel alone in what’s normal
✅ meal ideas that feel doable when nausea is calling the shots

Less panic. More peace. More “I’m okay.”

January always tries to convince us we need to do

January always tries to convince us we need to do the MOST.
And TTC/pregnancy adds a whole extra layer of pressure!!

But I’m not doing strict rules this year — I’m doing repeatable routines I can stick with!
One of my go-tos: keeping @nelliesfreerange eggs stocked every week. 💛

Nellie’s hens are raised outdoors on open pastures. You can see and taste the difference!!

It’s such a simple way to stay consistent with protein + nutrients like choline (a big one for pregnancy)!

✨ What is your favorite way to eat eggs??

Experiencing digestive symptoms during pregnancy??

Experiencing digestive symptoms during pregnancy?? 💩💨❤️‍🔥

If you’re dealing with constipation, gas, bloating, nausea, or random diarrhea… just know this:
you’re not doing anything wrong. 🫶

Pregnancy digestion is affected by hormones, slowing motility, and literal anatomy changes — but you can support it with the right strategy.

Inside The Prenatal Nutrition Library (TPNL), we have step-by-step guides that walk you through:
✅ what to do when you’re backed up
✅ what to eat when you’re bloated
✅ how to support digestion without guessing

Plus: you can search recipes tagged “good for constipation” + build your own custom meal plan!!

This sounds dramatic but it’s the truth. (I’m

This sounds dramatic but it’s the truth.
(I’m talking about planned pregnancies, ofc.)

And don’t get me wrong… I planned my own wedding for over a year.
Weddings come with timelines, vendors, and a million decisions you have to make.
Of course, we want that day to be magnificent 👰🏼

But pregnancy isn’t a single day… or a party.
It’s so much bigger than that.

And when there isn’t a season of prep—or a clear plan—most people default to:
• Late-night Googling
• A provider they aren’t happy with
• Nutrient depletion
• Non-stop fatigue
• Anxiety about the unknown

That’s not preparation. That’s panic.

Planning for pregnancy doesn’t mean perfection.
It doesn’t mean you can control everything (or that anxiety won’t still show up).
It doesn’t mean turning TTC into a second job.

It means setting firm foundations, so you feel more supported with:
energy, digestion, nutrient stores, mineral balance, stress tolerance, and day-to-day resilience!

Because planning a wedding helps one day go smoothly.
Planning for pregnancy helps your body carry the load for yearssss to come!

✨ If you want the exact priorities I focus on, the foundations I’ve built for myself, and coaching to tailor it to your life, that’s what we’re doing inside the Training for Pregnancy Program!!
