A Targeted Nutritional Approach to Pregnancy

Emily Rydbom, CN, BCHN, CNP poses the question, “What do we know about the current care for pregnancy nutrition in the US today?” There are three basics we tell pregnant women: “Take your prenatal, don’t gain too much weight, and eat healthy foods.” Rydbom explains that although these recommendations sound like three simple tasks, if pregnant women do not have the resources or the knowledge of what to do, this can be an overwhelming and disempowering conversation. Rydbom shares key clinical insights on how to deliver health information to pregnant women in a different way that can significantly and positively impact patient care and outcomes, along with reducing risks associated with pregnancy.
