If you’re dreaming of a 2026 pregnancy, you don’t need to do “everything” (I promise)!

You just need to know what matters most… and how it fits into a routine you can repeat without feeling like you’re following 100 rules.

Because consistency with simple habits always beats intensity for two weeks. ⬇️

Exciting! ✨ You can now get your hands on the Training for Pregnancy Guidebook Bundle to follow on your own time — including the exact Nutrition Guidebook used inside my program.

It’s a 6-week roadmap to help you build your pregnancy-ready nutrition foundations.

You’ll get:
• the 6-week “Training for Pregnancy” nutrition roadmap
• the key labs to consider before TTC (with target values)
• the partner nutrition playbook (the one I gave my own husband—simple, but impactful)

This is the framework I’m using to build my own foundations too.
You won’t believe how much it helps to know you’re covering the bases! 🫶🏼

If you’re 11–14 weeks pregnant and you feel li

If you’re 11–14 weeks pregnant and you feel like you should have it all figured out by now… you’re not alone. 💛

This phase can be weirdly mixed:
some days your appetite comes back,
some days nausea still shows up,
and energy can be all over the place.

You’re not “behind” if you’re still eating the same safe foods.

The goal in weeks 11–14 is:
✔️ Try for more protein (gentle options when nauseous)
✔️ Hydration upgrade
✔️ Add one fiber/color a day
✔️ Prioritize folate + choline + iron when you can

Just a few priorities you can repeat.

✨ If you want week-by-week meal plans and 600+ dietitian-approved recipes you can search by nutrient needs, symptoms, and cravings, that’s exactly what we built inside the TPNL app!

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!

It’s made based on your week of pregnancy and dietary preferences 🫶🏻

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??
