In this episode, I interview my friend Ryann all about pregnancy nutrition and other factors that relate such as cravings, morning sickness, prenatal vitamins, and more! Here are the questions we go over! -When should we start thinking about dietary needs in regards to pregnancy? Before…or once you find out? -What are some of the most important nutrients needed during pregnancy? -What about morning sickness, how do I get nutrients? If I’m sick all the time, is my baby being depleted? -Talk to us about prenatal vitamins, how do I look for a good quality one? Aren’t they all the same? -I have some intense cravings, should I just listen to my body or should I restrict my crazy cravings? -DAIRY! I am normally lactose intolerant but for some reason I’m not now that I’m pregnant, what is up with that? -Let’s talk about anemia and iron needs-adding iron through foods and/or taking supplements, when it’s needed. -Kombucha, what is the deal…is it safe? -Do you have experience with counseling women who have Gestational Diabetes? What are some things you tell them in regards to diet? -Weight gain….what if I’m “gaining too much weight” what do I do?   Ryann's Bio: Ryann is a clinically trained Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Lactation Educator, and Author of The Feel-Good Pregnancy Cookbook.
