Diets and nutrition info « Back to Group Discussions

What are some names and resources of specific pregnancy diets? I thought there were a few floating around, like geared toward either prevention or treatment of pre-ecclampsia, and some others? 

I'm trying to avoid my 4th bout of hyperemesis, and I will do ANYTHING! I've thought of cutting out dairy and gluten and sugar, but I don't just want to wing it (I'm terrible at that). I need some clearer guidance in what I should be eating.

Boogie, I have always followed the Brewer Pregnancy Diet, you can read about it at blueribbonbaby.com - it has given me healthy LO's thus far . Chris Kresser's Healthy Baby Code course also has good info but you have to buy the course to get it.

For moms with multiples on board, Dr. Barbara Luke's book / website are fantastic.

IMO good nutrition is critical!

I followed the Brewer Diet with my previous 4 pregnancies and had very healthy pregnancies and babies!

The midwife group I see in DC, Wisdom, has some nutrition guidelines that I think are pretty practical, and work for me - that said, I've been super-naseous and have only been able to get down turkey sandwiches on white bread today!  Hoping for better tomorrow
