Abstract
This slide set was used in a presentation on prenatal nutrition to a group of family medicine residents and faculty. It provides an overview of basic nutrition recommendations and considerations during pregnancy such as prenatal weight gain and concerns (e.g. pica, food insecurity), the dietary guidelines and common short-fall nutrients that are essential but often lacking in the diets of pregnant women, prenatal vitamin and mineral supplementation, the role of choline in a healthy pregnancy, and current dietary recommendations for gestational diabetes.
