Lauri Wright, PhD, the chair of the department of nutrition and dietetics at the University of North Florida, says the diet for a pregnant woman varies slightly for the diet of nonpregnant women.

“The diet is higher in calories [on average 300 calories more/day], protein, folic acid, calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin D. The increase in calorie and nutrient needs translate into an additional serving of meat, dairy, and assuring at least 5 servings of fruits/vegetables,”

A high quality diet during pregnancy reduces the chance of fetal growth restrictions and high blood pressure.

When we are having these experiences where we’re highly traumatized and people say things like, ‘Oh, well, you know, at least your baby’s healthy,’ [these are actually] huge events. Trauma shows up in our tissues. When you look at scans of brains where trauma lights up, it looks like stroke activity. So it’s not just about the idea of having a fairytale experience.”

Do you have a self care routine?

Part of our work as postpartum doulas is caring for clients and helping clients care for themselves. I like to ask clients what are one or two things they want to hold on to after baby arrives - read, talk with friends, watch a show snuggled on the couch with their sweetie, exercise....and then help them find the time and space to do that.
