Advice to cut salt is outdated!! ✨🧂 During p Advice to cut salt is outdated!! ✨🧂

During pregnancy, your blood volume increases by up to 50%! That means your body actually needs more sodium to maintain hydration, circulation, and healthy blood pressure.

If you’re constantly thirsty, dizzy, or craving salty foods — your body might be asking for electrolytes, not just water. 💦

Sodium helps your body:
– Maintain blood volume
– Support nerve + muscle function
– Absorb fluids effectively
– Prevent headaches + fatigue

You don’t need to fear salt, but use it wisely!

Steak is a very nutrient-dense choice for pregnancy, with a ton of absorbable iron. 

❗️The best practice is to ensure it reaches 145 F. 

Unfortunately, a doneness level, i.e., medium, medium-well, etc., does not correlate to a specific temperature. 

If you are cooking at home, grab a simple, inexpensive food thermometer from Amazon and check (within 5 seconds).

Eating an “undercooked” version isn’t automatically dangerous or harmful; it just won’t kill off pathogens if one is present. So it’s a bit ‘higher risk’ from a food safety standpoint.

Ok, some horror movies are very scary… but so ar Ok, some horror movies are very scary… but so are these! 👻

• A prenatal vitamin without choline — your prenatal should have at least some choline! It’s critical for baby’s brain and spinal development, yet so many prenatals still skip it. 🧠

• Staying constipated your whole pregnancy when solutions exist — magnesium, fiber, electrolytes, hydration… you do not have to suffer for nine months. 💩

• Avoiding soft cheeses your whole pregnancy for no reason — if it’s pasteurized, it’s safe. 🧀

• Your doctor telling you to limit fish intake — DHA and iodine are essential for baby’s brain and thyroid health. Skip the high-mercury fish, not all fish. 🐟

• A false positive GD test — yes, this happens! Testing your numbers at home gives you real-life data. Try it if you think you’re test felt off🩸

• ChatGPT telling you chamomile tea causes miscarriages — no! Use @theprenatalnutritionlibrary , not Google… and definitely not ChatGPT. 😵‍💫

• A gym bro saying gestational diabetes is 100% preventable — no, it’s not. 🙅‍♀️
