Tailored Advice to Maintain Maternal and Fetal Health Through Diet
At KidsHeart Medical Center, we help expectant mothers nourish their bodies — and their babies — with confidence and clarity.

Whether you’re managing a specific condition or just want reassurance about what’s safe and helpful, our team supports your health through every trimester. Explore our gynecology services here.
Because good nutrition is not about rules — it’s about care, balance, and knowing what’s right for you.
What Is Pregnancy Nutrition Counseling?
This service offers individualized dietary advice tailored to:
- Nutritional needs by trimester
- Weight gain goals based on pre-pregnancy BMI
- Common symptoms (nausea, constipation, fatigue)
- Gestational diabetes or thyroid support
- Iron, calcium, folic acid, and protein intake
- Food safety and culturally appropriate dietary habits
We also help navigate conflicting information and restrictive diets with calm, practical guidance.
When to Consider Nutrition Support
Nutrition counseling may be especially helpful if you:
- Are unsure what and how much to eat during pregnancy
- Have morning sickness, aversions, or appetite changes
- Have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes or anemia
- Follow a vegetarian, vegan, or restricted diet
- Have had previous pregnancy complications related to weight or nutrition
- Simply want to ensure your baby is getting what they need
No two pregnancies are the same — and your nutrition plan shouldn’t be either.
