Good Nutrition During Pregnancy: Healthy Mom and Baby


Nutrition during pregnancy is something almost every expectant mother cares about.

As a mom and Registered Dietitian, I want to help you have a healthy and safe pregnancy!

  • Do you wonder how many calories you are supposed to eat for a healthy pregnancy diet?

  • Are you unsure about which foods are safe to eat during pregnancy?

  • Do you wonder how you can eat to beat constipation, heartburn, and other common pregnancy problems?

Rather than immediately resorting to medication, why not try to prevent or treat some problems with what you eat?

Happy-Healthy-Pregnancy.com will help you understand common pregnancy problems and concerns while also being your pregnancy nutrition guide!

If you have a little one on the way, you probably want to know exactly what you should eat to keep your baby safe and healthy.

The problem is that everyone from your great aunt to your best friend has their own idea of what is "healthy"! Your great aunt probably tells you that you should "eat for two" (a.k.a. eating second or third helpings) while your best friend is telling you that caffeine is an "absolute no." All of this conflicting information can be confusing at times.

Having a healthy pregnancy begins with you, the expectant mother, deciding that it is worth the time and effort to take care of yourself and your baby.

Good nutrition during pregnancy can help you prevent or treat:

  • Foodborne illnesses dangerous (even deadly) to unborn baby

  • Constipation during pregnancy

  • Heartburn during pregnancy

  • Gestational Diabetes

  • Reflux during pregnancy

  • Unwanted excess weight gain during pregnancy

I can tell you that I know from personal experience that I do everything possible to keep my baby safe and healthy!

A healthy pregnancy diet is not only beneficial for the little one in the womb, but also for you.
