Nutrition is so important for a healthy lifestyle - our staff has expertise in learning what is best to eat and why. 

For instance, when a woman becomes pregnant - should she eat differently?  Pregnancy is a uniquely wonderful time - it is a great time to improve your eating habits.  We recommend fruit, vegetables, lean protein, and minimizing processed foods.

Is my prenatal vitamin enough for my baby?  Make sure you take a prenatal vitamin that includes both folic acid and iron, but also omega 3.  

Why is omega-3 important?  We have learned that omega-3 is healthy for mothers and her children.  There is growing evidence that omega-3 helps the cognitive development for a baby (in utero) and during toddler stages.  Omega-3 has been shown to improve vision and mental development in infants.  Ask you Ob/Gyn for a prenatal vitamin with fish oil.

We offer printed information on nutrition that is based on the following series (featured on the ObGyn Alliance website)
