Welcome to the Prenatal Nutritionist community! 🤰🏼 My name is Haley and I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist specialized in prenatal nutrition! I help expecting mamas have a healthy, feel good pregnancy to grow a healthy baby. 👶🏽 When I began my career I immediately fell in love with helping expecting mamas achieve a healthy pregnancy!! Unfortunately, after seeing hundreds of expecting mamas in the Women, Infant, and Children program, I started to see a pattern… They were feeling confused, scared, and misinformed about how to eat to have a healthy pregnancy. They didn’t even know that they could change their eating to help them manage their pregnancy symptoms!! That is why I started the Nourish Baby and Me Foundations program & this IG - to empower you to have a healthy pregnancy while feeling GOOD & CONFIDENT! I’ve now been working in this space for over 8 years and have helped hundreds of mamas have healthy before, during and after pregnancy journeys. ❤️ So whether you’re just starting this journey or already have a bunch of little ones at home, I am so happy to have you here! If you ever have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out. My DM’s are always open! 📲 #pregnancydietitian #funfoodforkids #eatrightnotless #babyboyontheway #purebodylove #conceive #dadtobe #pregnancynutritiontips #babylunchideas #momtobe2022 #happypumping #firsttrimesterpregnancy #foodsafetyfirst #foodsafety #pregnancysymptoms #babyontheway #selfcaremoms #infertilityhope #pregnancystruggle #prenataldietitian #pregnancynutritionist #eatingfortwo #healthypregnancyeating #pregnancyweight #pregnancyweightgainjourney #firstbaby #expectingababy #dadlifeisthebestlife #secondtrimester #healthypregnancymeals

Are you prepared for the fourth trimester!? ❤️ So many mamas come to me confused, anxious and overwhelmed with their nutrition during pregnancy but tend to forget that it’s just as important postpartum! Did you know that your nutrient needs are actually HIGHER postpartum than the third trimester!? Remember that you’re not only nursing during this time (if you choose to) but you’re also healing! So it’s important to prioritize your nutrition so that you and baby are healthy! 👶🏽 So if you’re ready to: ✅ Give your baby the best start to life ✅ Decrease risks of postpartum complications ✅ Feel confident that your newborn is getting the nutrition they need Then that’s where I come in 👋🏼 In my signature program, I teach you not only WHAT foods to include postpartum but also HOW (and how much) to include them so that you can feel CONFIDENT in your food choices for a healthy baby!!

Do you feel prepared for your BFP (big fat positive)!? Maybe you’re wondering: 💭What do I need to change in my diet? 💭Should I take a prenatal?

And now you’re worried and overwhelmed with how to best prepare your body for pregnancy 😩 If this is you then you aren’t alone mama!

So tell me something… How would it feel to: 😍Be excited for your first appt because you know you’re doing everything you can for your baby’s health 😍Know exactly what you can and cannot eat during pregnancy 😍Have access to the most up to date nutrition research 😍Manage those pesky symptoms with ease This is what I help mamas with every day inside of my program!

Safe herbal teas👇🏼 Ok mama lets chat tea!! If you’re a tea lover this post is for you. Here’s what you need to know: 1️⃣ Scientifically, there’s little known about most herbal teas due to ethical reasons (aka lack of testing on expecting mamas). 2️⃣ Non herbal teas are SAFE! Just keep in mind their caffeine content. 3️⃣ When in doubt ask your Doctor or Dietitian! Safe herbal teas (to name a few): ✅ Red Raspberry Leaf ✅ Ginger ✅ Peppermint / Mint ✅ Chamomile ✅ Echinacea ✅ Lemon Balm ✅ Cranberry Herbal teas to avoid (to name a few): ❌ Licorice Root ❌ Sage ❌ Ginseng ❌ Juniper Share this with another friend who’s expecting if this was helpful! #healthyrecipies #nutritionconsultant #nutritionmyth #pregnancynutrition #bunintheoven #activepregnancy #newmum #healthymama #healthysnackideas
Let me start off by saying… I’m SO sorry you’re struggling with nausea and food aversions mama! There’s nothing worse than not being able to eat and worrying about baby’s health! 😩 But know that just because nausea and food aversions are common, doesn’t mean they are normal mama!! During this time it’s important to be kind to yourself and do what you can to optimize your nutrition. When I work with clients, we find ways to manage your symptoms so that you can still get the nutrition you need! 🎉 But if you’re reading this and thinking 💬 “I’ve tried everything though and nothing works!” 💬 “It should go away soon, I’ll just wait it out” Know that we can work together and find what works for you specifically (rather than generic advice) and prevent any further nutrient deficiencies cause by waiting it out! I know you want the best for your baby, mama! ❤️ So if you want to learn more about my program head to the link in my bio and watch the program video! 📲 #pregnancynutrition #balancedfood #pregnancynausea #bunintheoven #firsttimemama #momlifeunfiltered #pregnancysnacks101 #mummydiaries #firsttrimester
How I chose what to eat👇🏼 First off, let me start by saying that this is simply an example of what a day of eating could look like!! Depending on your unique nutrition needs and any symptoms (hello food aversions 🤢) you’re struggling with - a day of eating might look vastly different!! And that’s OK mama! So here’s how I chose to eat these meals & snacks as a pregnancy dietitian! 🤰🏼 1️⃣I chose foods that contain the nutrients my body needs! I know this from my lab work & diet analysis (like I do in my program). 2️⃣I chose meals and snacks that would satisfy me for hours! This looks like always pairing your carbs with protein/fat/fiber. 3️⃣Finally, I chose meals and snacks that I LOVE and fit in my lifestyle (they didn’t require me to cook for hours)! This is something I teach to the mama’s in my program! Everyone has different preferences and symptoms so it’s important to have the tools to choose foods that are good for YOU and your baby!! 👶🏽 Which of these meals / snacks was your favorite!? #whatieatinaday #whatieatasadietitian #momnutrition #pregnant #babyandme #38weeks #37weeks #30weeks #3rdtrimester
If you’re worried about pregnancy weight gain I NEED you to know this information! I’ve had many expecting mamas come to me worried about the number on the scale.. On top of that, it didn’t help that their doctors were making them feel that they were failing at having a healthy pregnancy! 😕 Well mama, let me tell you something.. The number on the scale is not the only indicator of health during your pregnancy!! So instead of stressing about your weight, focus on implementing a balanced diet and most importantly TRUST & EMBRACE YOUR BODY! ❤️ If you’re struggling to feel confident in your pregnancy body and nutrition then let’s fix that mama!! You deserve to LOVE your body!

Have you had your first prenatal appointment yet!?🤰🏼 If not then SAVE this post for later so that you can ask these questions during your appointment! It’s important to advocate for yourself mama ❤️ So many physicians don’t have the knowledge, training, or time to get into the details of pregnancy nutrition with you. So if they don’t, then ask for support from a dietitian, like me! And remember I’m always here for you too!! 🤗 Let me know if your appointment is coming up or if you’ve had it, how it went!👇🏼 #prenataltips #momhood #integrativenutrition #lifeasamama #birtheducation #mothertobe #healthymoms #firsttimemomma #firsttimemom
Are you next mama!? 🤩 Now tell me.. Does this sound familiar? You went to your first prenatal appointment and the physician told you to just take a prenatal, eat healthy and avoid certain foods.. 😐 So then you go home and resort to Dr. Google for all of your nutrition questions which leaves you EVEN MORE confused and anxious.. 😩 The result is: 👉🏼Having no idea what you should vs. shouldn’t eat 👉🏼Unsure of what supplements you need to take for the gaps in your diet 👉🏼You’re worried that you might eat something that will harm the baby!! If you relate to any of these, know that you are not alone and pregnancy does not need to be difficult like this! It’s possible to feel confident and empowered in your nutrition and lifestyle throughout your pregnancy! I see it every day with my clients! 🥰 So what are you waiting for mama!? You deserve to feel good about your pregnancy! Snag your spot today!
