Pregnancy is a critical time to put yourself first and focus on your overall health and well being. When you take care of yourself, you also support your baby’s health, not just while in the womb but also through adulthood. Baby’s feel our emotions, physically develop, and acquire taste buds based upon what we consume along with our emotions while they are in the womb.  In addition, when we focus on our health, we can better nourish our body and mind to sustain our own health (as baby will pull nutrients from our body if he/she is lacking some!). 

Setting yourself up for success during pregnancy through healthy nutrition allows you to experience more energy, better digestion, less swelling, less potential complications, reduced cravings, and much more. 

From a physical perspective, focus on consuming a wide variety of whole foods (healthy proteins, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, healthy carbs, and water) and supplement to ensure you can support your body and your growing baby.  

From an emotional and mental perspective, focus on connecting with self and baby through meditation, talking with baby, increasing your own awareness of how you are feeling, and/or journaling. It is very important to release fears and limiting beliefs for increased pregnancy health, as every component of our life creates our health and well being!
