Pre-Natal Nutrition: Nourishment for Mother & Baby
Pregnancy is a season of profound change, growth, and anticipation. At Family Food, our Pre-Natal Nutrition division is here to support both you and your baby with compassionate, evidence-based guidance tailored to your unique journey.
Our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists provide personalized nutrition support before conception, throughout pregnancy, and into the early postpartum period. Whether this is your first pregnancy or you’ve walked this path before, we help you feel confident in how you’re nourishing your body and your growing baby.
How We Support You
Building a Strong Foundation
From early fetal development to the final trimester, your nutritional needs evolve. We guide you in meeting key nutrient requirements—such as folate, iron, choline, protein, iodine, and healthy fats—to support optimal growth and maternal health.
Managing Common Pregnancy Symptoms
Nausea, food aversions, heartburn, fatigue, constipation, and appetite changes are common. We provide practical, realistic strategies to help you stay nourished even when eating feels challenging.
Healthy Weight Gain & Blood Sugar Support
We offer individualized guidance for appropriate weight gain and support for gestational diabetes, insulin resistance, or other metabolic concerns—without restrictive or fear-based approaches.
Navigating Food Safety & Conflicting Advice
Pregnancy often comes with overwhelming and contradictory information. We help you cut through the noise with clear, evidence-based recommendations so you can feel confident in your food choices.
Preparation for Postpartum & Breastfeeding
Nutrition continues to matter after delivery. We help you prepare for recovery, support milk production if breastfeeding, and ensure sustainable nourishment during the early weeks with a newborn.
