Pregnancy Journey

More Than Just Nine Months

The full pregnancy timeline

Pregnancy is usually thought of as a nine-month journey that begins at conception, but the time before and after is just as important from a nutrition perspective. It is essential to nourish your body during family planning in order to prepare for the journey of growing another human inside of you. Nutrition after birth is important as well. If you will be breastfeeding, it’s important to pass along nutrients to your new baby, but it is just as important to keep yourself healthy and energized to take on life as a new mom.

What happens to my body during pregnancy?

Positive pregnancy test. Trying to get pregnant

Whether you have just started the process of family planning or have been trying to conceive for awhile, good nutrition makes a big difference for you and your baby! Many women don’t know they’re pregnant until they are 6 weeks or more along, so it’s important to start taking prenatal dietary supplements throughout the time you are trying to get pregnant.1

Pregnancy is a time when there are SO many changes happening to your body, in ways you notice and in ways you might not. Prenatal vitamins are there to support those things you can’t see that are still so important! Not only are you nourishing your baby, you are nourishing yourself in order to make your pregnancy and birth as healthy as possible.1
