Healthy Pregnancy

Congratulations! You’re pregnant!

Nutrition and diet are critical in all stages of pregnancy – so the sooner you get started, the better you will feel about what is happening right now and what to expect in the future. This is the time for nourishment and finding time for self-care. Beve can help as a Seattle Nutritionists with almost 20 years of experience.

If you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes or have diabetes before you get pregnant, Beve is the nutritionist to see in Seattle! Beve also has clients throughout the United States and offers both in-person and phone nutrition consults.

There are “critical periods” during pregnancy and a nutritionist can work with your existing health care team and provide support and advice every step of the way. You should take a high quality prenatal vitamin and mineral supplement along with a concentrated DHA omega-3 fat supplement throughout your pregnancy. Most women also need to take a Vitamin D supplement during pregnancy, especially during the non-summer months. During an appointment with Beve at Seattle Nutrition, you will receive expert advice in all areas of pregnancy related to nutrition and diet.

As part of your healthcare team, Beve will monitor your pregnancy weight gain to keep you and your baby on track through healthy snacks, beverages and meal plans designed just for you.

This is no time for low carb diets!

Women should consume a minimum of 175 grams of carbohydrates a day to meet the baby’s brain requirements for fuel. Beve can guide you in meeting your carb needs with both healthy and delicious foods, snacks and beverages. Get your diet evaluated today!

Through a nutrition consultation appointment, you will learn about protein requirements, how much water to consume, essential fats, vitamin and mineral supplementation during pregnancy, food safety issues and how foods can help manage common health problems during pregnancy. Working with special diets can also be discussed and planned!
