The nine months of pregnancy and the immediate post-partum period represent the most significant and intense phases of growth and development that one will experience over a lifetime. It’s also one of the times where modifiable risk factors for disease can be most significantly augmented. It is an exciting, albeit challenging, time and can invoke feelings of anxiety, apprehension, and confusion.

Our aim with this e-book is to lay out the basics in a clear and concise manner and to provide a guidebook to navigate this period of great change.

In MTMM’s Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy you will find up to date information on what to eat – both how much and of what – as well as an inside scoop on what to expect during each of the three trimesters as well as the ever-important postpartum period.

MTMM’s guide covers:

- normal physiologic changes during pregnancy

- weight gain during pregnancy

- peri-natal nutrition (preconception through delivery)

- post-natal/breastfeeding nutrition

- post-partum weight loss

- supplementation, caffeine, and alcohol use

… Plus resources, tools and recipes to get you started on your journey.
