Why Protein is Extra Important During Pregnancy 🤰
During pregnancy, your body works harder than ever, and protein becomes a key nutrient to support both you and your baby. Watch out for warning signs of low protein such as constant tiredness, slower or poor weight gain, swelling, or unusual muscle aches.
Your protein needs almost double during this stage to fuel your baby’s rapid growth and to meet your body’s changing demands. Not getting enough protein can affect both your health and your baby’s development. 👶
