Summary
Kristi Spence, MS, RDN, CSSD is back for the third time on NMP to discuss how to have a mentally and physically healthy pregnancy. Pregnancy can be an amazing time full of wonderful experiences, but it can also bring up some difficult feelings about food, weight and exercise. In this conversation, we talk about ways to prepare for a healthy pregnancy, how to exercise during pregnancy, how to think about weight gain in a way that hopefully feels less daunting and overwhelming, and ways to get in adequate nutrition during pregnancy. We also briefly touch on lactation and postpartum nutrition.
