Nutrition and Lifestyle in Pregnancy

Nutrition and Lifestyle in Pregnancy offers an overview of the latest research findings and international recommendations on a variety of nutrition-related aspects and outcomes of pregnancy. Ensuring a healthy nutritional status and lifestyle prior to and during pregnancy is one of the best ways to help support the healthy growth and development of the unborn child. We will look at how a healthy diet and lifestyle should ideally be achieved prior to conception and provide recommendations for pre-conception counselling of women. We will also look at the nutritient recommendations for a healthy pregnancy to ensure optimal maternal and fetal outcomes as well as focus on the most common nutrition-related pregnancy complications; obesity and gestational diabetes. The learner will have the opportunity to delve into the cutting-edge world of epigenetic and metabolomic research and appreciate the enormous role that these programming effects have in long-term health and disease outcomes. Finally, we offer real life, everyday situations and questions from pregnant women to aid healthcare professionals in the nutrition-based counselling of pregnant women and their families. In addition to the English original, subtitles in Portugese language are available now!

pregnant woman

Also, if an obese pregnant woman is on the course, gosh they would feel awful.

the claim that supplementing with folic acid is better than supplementing with folate or the claim that every pregnant woman should increase her daily intake of iodine (to those with autoimmune thyroid, iodine is actually toxic), I have enjoyed this course and learnt quite a lot from it.

I'm a GP interacting with pregnant woman on a regular basis.

I am a pregnant woman at the stage of beginning of second trimester.

Helpful to Understood nutritional requirements for a pre and post-pregnant woman.All explanations delivered by Professor Hildegard Przyrembel are outstanding.

pregnant women

I don't think high carb diet of 50%+ is always the best for humans, and I do believe that pregnant women are no different.

I benefited from the research and studies in this course and expanded my horizons in knowing the nutrition of pregnant women fortunately now i have a great background about this subject and hope there will be more advanced courses and more complex I just love Coursera and the ability to study from anywhere.

Excellent course with both strong scientific information as well as everyday practical applications for those counseling pregnant women.

hi , delighted to share this course as inspiring and walking aside with my scientific concerns, really very a course at the height thank you awesome Huge thanks for that opportunity to learn from professionals and the best doctors how to understand and help pregnant women during such challenging time.
