Get evidence-based answers to the frequently asked questions about gestational diabetes, plus recipes and meal plans, expert interviews, and real birth stories.
With the rapidly growing rate of diabetes, developing gestational diabetes is more likely than ever. We want every mom (mom-to-be) to be educated with evidence-based research so you can be an informed and confident member of your prenatal healthcare team and have the pregnancy you want.
Whether you’re already diabetic, healthy as ever, eating low-carb, still in preconception, or whatever, you need to know how nutrition affects you, your pregnancy and your child. Join us to learn how to have the pregnancy and life you want through the food you eat.
We’ll answer your questions, give tips, laugh and cry with you, all in the hopes of making the journey a bit easier - from preconception to postpartum, to motherly intuition and advocating for yourself, to handling judgment and criticism and so much more - we tackle it all.
