In this episode we go over some essential nutrients during the first trimester of pregnancy, including one that is so critical in the first 4 weeks of pregnancy before you might even realize you are pregnant. We dive into the benefits of consuming these nutrients for both mom and baby and some risks of deficiency. I also tell you the top food sources for each so you can enrich your diet accordingly, as well as if you are a vegan or vegetarian, I recommend supplementing. The first trimester can be such a whirlwind from excitement of realizing you're pregnant to sudden morning sickness and body changes, often with very few people in their life knowing the news which can make it feel isolating and not real. In the episode I want to share how you can support your changing body and growing baby through nutrition to help you feel more empowered in your choices.  Check out Needed to find your prenatal or other supplements today: https://bit.ly/neededxbitesized Code: BITESIZED for 20% off  Why choose Needed?
