Episode 66 - Gestational Diabetes and Pregnancy Nutrition with Lily Nichols RDN

In this episode I am chatting with Lily Nichols RDN who shares with us why it's useful to know more about the foods you eat and how they can affect your blood sugar levels. We spoke in detail about the different screening methods for Gestational Diabetes and why it's important to understand what each test is for - so you will know if you want to accept or decline.  Lily also gave tips on how to improve your diet and lessen the chances of being diagnosed with gestational diabetes in general or other complications of pregnancy like high or low fluids, pre eclampsia. We also covered what to eat when on a budget and what you might like to consider if you are a vegan and want to increase certain nutrients in your diet. https://lilynicholsrdn.com/budget-friendly-prenatal-nutrition/https://lilynicholsrdn.comInstagram @lilynicholsrdnIf you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.uk Follow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner Book a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann - https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresford Please remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guests, based on their own experiences.
