In my opinion, as soon as you find out you’re pregnant, it heightens everything. You become so much more hyper-aware of your surroundings and everything you do because all of those things are no longer just affecting you . . . they are affecting your growing baby, too. And as mothers, we always want to do and provide the very best for our babies. This is why one of the first things we tend to think about is what we are eating. Because what we are eating is also what we are feeding our babies.

Today’s guest, Stephanie Middleberg, is an expert on this topic, and she is sharing her pregnancy nutrition tips with all of us and so much more. Tune in to discover everything you need to know about pregnancy nutrition and how to have a happy and healthy nine months and beyond!

What Did We Discuss?

In this episode, we chat with Stephanie about pregnancy nutrition and everything expectant moms need to know about a happy, healthy 9 months and beyond. Here are several of the questions that we covered in our conversation:

  • Why is nutrition during pregnancy so important, and how does it impact both the mother and the baby?
  • What are some key nutrients that pregnant women should focus on incorporating into their diets, and why?
  • Do women’s nutritional needs change throughout the different stages of pregnancy? If so, how? 
  • What are your thoughts on prenatal supplements? What do pregnant women need to know when looking for a supplement to fit their needs? 
  • Are there any specific foods or food groups that pregnant women should avoid or limit, and if so, why?
  • How can pregnant women navigate cravings while still maintaining a balanced diet? Do you have any yummy snack ideas to curb their cravings?
  • And what about food aversions? How can pregnant women navigate that and still maintain a balanced diet?
  • What about postpartum recovery? How can women prepare to prioritize their nutrition postpartum?

Stephanie shared so much incredible information with us — amazing recipes, detailed facts on vitamins and nutrients that we need to have during pregnancy, and how we can more easily incorporate them into our daily lives.
