  • Summary

  • You have increased nutrient needs during pregnancy, and maintaining a balanced diet is essential for you and your baby. There is no denying that animal products are naturally rich sources of specific vitamins and nutrients, and those following a plant-based diet can still meet their nutritional needs. People choose a plant-based diet for various reasons, including environmental, ethical, or health considerations. This episode examines the evidence on plant-based diets during pregnancy and provides an overview of key nutrients to focus on when following a vegetarian or vegan diet. Thank you to our sponsors 20% off Mommy Steps or Form insoles with the promo code FEET. Studies show pregnancy can make your feet grow. In one study, 61% of participants had a measurable increase in foot length, and 22% reported going up a shoe size. The thought of going up a shoe size and having to replace every pair of shoes you own might freak you out. The good news is that wearing insoles can protect your feet from going up in size.
