Timestamp key takeaways:
(10:31) Prenatal nutrition is important for both the mother and the baby's health during pregnancy. It is essential to focus on nutrient-dense foods and prioritize protein intake.
(18:46) During the second trimester, it is crucial to eat enough food and focus on nutrient-dense options. Including foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish and eggs, can support the baby's brain development.
(21:49) Blood sugar balance is key during the third trimester. Pairing carbohydrate-rich foods with proteins and fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels. It is also important to continue consuming foods rich in omega-3s and prioritize fluid intake.
(29:44) In the weeks leading up to labor and delivery, it is recommended to have snacks and fluids readily available. Protein-rich snacks like frozen grapes and string cheese can provide nourishment during labor. Electrolyte drinks can help replenish fluids.
(36:03) Postpartum healing and breastfeeding require increased nutrient and fluid intake. Adequate protein, B12, choline, and omega-3s are essential during this period. Planning freezer meals, having snacks on hand, and staying hydrated are important for postpartum recovery and milk production.
