Pregnancy and Birth Nutrition Workshop

When: November 9th at 18:00

Where: Rosengartenstrasse 10, 8037 Zurich

During pregnancy, your body knows what to do. It knows how to create fingers, toes, organs, blood vessels, hair. It knows how to carry your baby to term.

To manage all the trillions of processes happening every second during pregnancy, your body needs significantly higher amounts of certain nutrients. Vitamin A, folate, vitamin B12, choline, iron, to name a few. These nutrients that are supplied to your baby must come from your diet, otherwise they will be taken from your own body.

The biological importance of maternal nutrition is well established. And yet, conventional prenatal nutrition advice is most often focused around the foods one should avoid. At Womb Nutrition I focus on the foods that we need to include in order to sustain a healthy pregnancy – for both mama and baby. 

Join me for the “Pregnancy and Birth Nutrition” workshop to know the essentials about the nutrients your body needs during pregnancy and the foods that can best support your growing needs. 

Agenda:

• What happens to our body during pregnancy
• Pregnancy nutrition 101
  • the role of macronutrients
  • the important micronutrients for each trimester for both mother and baby
• A word on prenatal vitamins
• Common pregnancy conditions and how to tackle them
• Pregnancy nutrition in practice
• How to nourish your body during labour and birth

The course of the content can be slightly adapted to best fit the majority of the participants. In order to do so, I kindly ask you to mention the pregnancy week you are in and if there is any pregnancy condition you are dealing with (constipation, nausea, high blood sugar, etc.) when signing up.

This event will be exclusively in English.
