In this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Alison Breen an obstetrician at UC Davis to discuss pregnancy myths and truths. We review diet and the evidence about avoiding or moderating specific foods/drinks in pregnancy. We talk about gestational diabetes and how to help control blood sugars through dietary modification. We review common questions about skin care, supplements, exercise and sleep position in pregnancy. The importance of pre-conception counseling visits for people with pre-existing medical conditions or medications. We even discuss eating your own placenta and the critically important topic of postpartum mental health.
We thank Dr. Breen for joining us for this episode, although Dr. Lena and Dean take responsibility for any errors or misinformation.
