Episode Summary  Whilst we don’t want women to be sweating the small stuff when it comes to nutrition and pregnancy, there are some essential pieces of information you should know. But finding accurate information is no easy task. Just when you think you’ve figured out how much caffeine you can drink, you’ll soon find another article telling you something entirely different. In this episode, we’ll take away all the stress and anxiety from finding the pregnancy nutrition answers you need. Registered Dietician Lauren Manaker joins us to tell us the 5 most important tips we should know. We’ll be discussing prenatal vitamins, hydration, seafood and more. Pull Quotes 3:55 - “There is not one perfect one [prenatal vitamin] for every single person, so it’s really meant to supplement your diet. So see what you’re eating, what you’re missing, and supplement accordingly.” 07:39 - “You have to find a way to stay hydrated because once you get dehydrated, that’s when things can get really dangerous.” 11:03 - “There’s so much data showing that pregnant people that eat their two/three servings of low mercury seafood a week just have so many better pregnancy outcomes in terms of reducing the risk of early labor.” 15:37 - “We can’t categorize fruit in the same category as jelly beans. It’s just not the same. And we’re missing out on so many of these plant compounds that we’re not getting anywhere else when we’re not eating fruit.” 17:32 - “Just try to really maximize what you’re eating for the most part, but not with every single thing that you’re doing. You still need to live life and enjoy yourself and it’s easy to get hung up on the details and you really shouldn’t get hung up on the details.” For more nutrition and fitness advice from Juna, please check out the Juna App!
