Physiological Changes Alter Nutrient Needs During Pregnancy
Hours: 2.00
A pregnant woman’s health is linked uniquely to fetal, infant, and maternal health and well-being. Preconception nutritional status and nutritional intake during the pregnancy are key components to successful birth outcomes. It is common knowledge that women have increased nutrient needs during pregnancy and lactation, yet the details of their specific needs are often overlooked. Healthy eating is more than eating for two.
