If you are struggling with nourishing your body appropriately while pregnant and/or postpartum, a dietitian specializing in pregnancy can assist in making you feel confident in the way you are nourishing your body and your sweet growing baby’s body as well.

• Managing Morning Sickness: Uff. Pregnancy can be rough, and getting nutrients while dealing with morning sickness is a challenge. We can suggest dietary strategies to alleviate nausea and vomiting, such as eating small, frequent meals and identifying foods that are easier to tolerate.
• Addressing Food Aversions and Cravings: Our bodies can crave (or reject) the strangest things during pregnancy. We can provide pregnant women with healthy alternatives and solutions to manage common food aversions and cravings during pregnancy.
• Special Dietary Needs: We will advise women with dietary modifications with specific conditions such as gestational diabetes, hypertension, or anemia.
• Hydration Guidance: Adequate hydration during pregnancy is key to both mom and her developing baby’s well being. We can help mothers-to-be stay hydrated with strategies to meet daily water needs.
• Supplement Recommendations: We provide all pregnant women with recommendations appropriate prenatal vitamins and supplements to fill any nutritional gaps.
• Education on Food Safety: We will help educate expecting parents about food safety practices to avoid foodborne illnesses, which are particularly risky during pregnancy.
• Postpartum Nutrition: Pregnancy, technically, extends into those first few months postpartum. A postnatal nutritionist on our team will provide support for postpartum nutrition, focusing on recovery, breastfeeding support, and managing any postpartum conditions such as baby blues or depression.
• Ongoing Support and Monitoring: A prenatal dietitian on our team will provide all patients with continuous support and monitoring throughout the pregnancy, making adjustments to the diet as needed to accommodate changing nutritional requirements.

A dietitian can help monitor intake, ensure proper nutrient intake, work around diet modifications if there are complications such a gestational diabetes or anemia so the mom can feel confident in feeding not only herself but her baby too.

The first 12 weeks after giving birth is called “the fourth trimester”. Oftentimes women have one, maybe two, follow-up appointments with their ObGyn’s after labor, if that. This is a critical time in a woman’s health, and with the new baby, new moms often neglect their health and well-being.

Our postpartum dietitian support can help ensure new mom’s ongoing, individualized care to improve healing, support post-pregnancy nursing goals, offer lactation consultations, as well as help new moms reach those nutrition related goals once baby has arrived.

You’re exhausted. We can provide you with meal-planning and snack strategies — quick, easy recipes and tips to ensure you’re getting the nutrients you need (without spending too much time).

You’re overwhelmed. We don’t expect you to lug yourself and new baby to our offices. We provide online, telehealth nutrition therapy so you can contact us from the comfort of your home.

You’re sleep deprived. We can help moms improve their nutrition status, provide tips for a postpartum diet to improve energy.

You’re healing: Implement dietary strategies to support healing post-partum.
