It took me some time to realize this is what all m It took me some time to realize this is what all my successful clients/students had in common. An unwavering mindset to get through a truly challenging time, pregnancy. Q: How many of you have felt guilty after eating a meal that might have not been the best for you or for baby? We do this all the time. The way you feel about your food decisions will affect how you eat. Acting with mindfulness and intention is fundamental to ensuring your most desirable pregnancy. It's not about perfection, ever. It's about small changes and progress. As long as you keep going, keep moving forward, you will be successful. The story we tell ourselves isn’t always true and providing a resource to silence our own individual self-doubt is one of the reasons I created The Prenatal Nutrition Library. Master the mindset and have the most up to date nutrition information to help you make informed decisions for your pregnancy (TPNL) and you will be unstoppable for the next 9-months! Join the hundreds of other women who have already decided on the nourishment for two mindset - link in bio!!
Have a social gathering coming up but haven’t re Have a social gathering coming up but haven’t revealed your pregnancy yet? Now that you may be attending social gatherings again (distancing and hand washing a lot, of course), you and your partner may be debating how to handle this. Whether you are actively trying to conceive or newly pregnant, avoiding alcohol is recommended. For some, it may not be an odd occurrence to turn down an alcoholic beverage, but for others it might strike your friends as “out of the ordinary.” In reality, if these are your friends, they should respect your decisions, but I can understand being anxious about these situations when emotions are running high. Here are some things you can say! 🙂 Have you/did you use one of these lines pre-pregnancy reveal?👇🏼

Does meat all of a sudden make you feel sick? A f Does meat all of a sudden make you feel sick? A food aversion towards meat is very common in pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. Food aversions during pregnancy may happen for several reasons (yes, of course, hormone changes and all the things). It’s also thought that our bodies may be trying to protect us from potentially “unsafe” food which was very important hundreds of years ago when our food supply wasn’t near as safe as it is now. So, rest assured, if you have an appetite for meat, please eat it! But, if you don’t, make sure to include some other foods with protein that you can tolerate.
