Prenatal Nutrition Class
During pregnancy, the body goes through many physical and hormonal changes. As a result, one needs more nutrients, more vitamins and more energy.
Nutrition is one of the key elements in your healthy maternity journey for you and your baby. The way you nourish your body during pregnancy affects your health and your baby’s health. Therefore, a healthy balanced diet helps ensure you and your baby stay healthy throughout the pregnancy. The food you eat is your baby’s main source of nourishment. It is critical to consume foods that are rich in nutrients as proper nutrition promotes your baby’s healthy growth and development.
