Reply To: gut health

Hey, Kate! Gut health is super important for all of us and there is research on how it affects fertility and pregnancy (very cool!). This is a great topic suggestion so I will add it to our list because it definitely warrants a full note. For starters I would refer to the probiotic note here: https://new.theprenatalnutritionlibrary.com/probiotics/ – you’ll see there is research linking probiotic consumption (important for good gut health) to pre-term birth, GDM, preeclampsia, and allergies in baby. We also have a note coming up on the importance of fiber which is also related to gut health!
