Pregnancy and Nutrition

This module provides a practical, evidence-based approach to supporting maternal and fetal health through nutrition. It combines pregnancy-specific medical nutrition guidance with hands-on culinary skills, helping participants translate clinical recommendations into simple, safe, and nutrient-rich dishes. The module highlights key nutrient needs during prenatal, antenatal, and postnatal stages; addresses common concerns such as nausea, anemia, and gestational diabetes; and emphasizes food safety and culturally appropriate meal planning. Through cooking demonstrations and recipe-based learning, participants gain the skills to confidently guide expectant and postpartum mothers in making healthier food choices that promote optimal pregnancy outcomes.
