Common questions

What should I eat in the third trimester?

Iron for blood volume that has grown by half, omega-3 for the final brain growth spurt, and plenty of fiber with fluids for near-universal constipation. Smaller, more frequent meals sit better.

What helps with heartburn in late pregnancy?

Smaller meals, eating earlier in the evening, and going easy on chili, citrus and fried food. Milky and yogurt-based dishes are often soothing.

What should I eat in the weeks before labor?

Light, carb-forward meals that sit well, plus steady fluids. Dates have genuinely been studied around labor, and hospital-bag snacks are worth packing in advance.
