Current research: Nutrition in pregnancy impacts outcomes

We believe that you can get all the nutrients you need to have a healthy pregnancy by eating healthy food. Our dietary guidelines are designed to keep your blood sugar at an even level throughout the day (and minimize nausea and dizziness) and expand your blood volume properly so that you can circulate for both yourself and the baby. Following our guidelines will also help you grow a baby that is appropriately sized for your body and pelvis.

Here is a current research article about how dietary and lifestyle interventions in pregnancy can reduce pregnant women's weight gain and improve outcomes for both mother and baby: "Effects of interventions in pregnancy on maternal weight and obstetric outcomes"
