🥄 Nourishing Your Body for Baby’s Health 🥄

When it comes to what I eat in a day during pregnancy, I love starting with a little bit of whole fat plain yogurt. Not only is it a great source of protein and healthy fats, but it’s also packed with probiotics, which are so important for gut health! 🦠

Probiotics play a huge role in building a healthy microbiome—which is crucial for both mama and baby. During a vaginal birth, your baby is naturally “seeded” with your microbiome as they pass through the birth canal. That's why having a diverse, healthy gut flora is key!

Here’s how you can support a strong microbiome during pregnancy:
✅ Include probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kombucha
✅ Eat plenty of prebiotic foods like garlic, onions, bananas, and asparagus to nourish those good bacteria
🚫 Avoid antibiotics if possible (unless medically necessary) to help preserve your healthy gut bacteria

Your body is doing an amazing job growing that little human—let’s give it the best support possible! 💪👶
