A "Healthy" Pregnancy

About this episode

We now know that what you do when you’re pregnant has profound implications for the health of your baby, and yourself. But the information and advice surrounding pregnancy is seemingly never-ending and often contradictory. What does a healthy pregnancy actually look like? Should we be changing the way we eat? Exercising? How much weight should we gain during pregnancy? What about prenatal vitamins? Today, we will be speaking to Professor Beth Murray-Davis from McMaster University about what we need to know to increase our chances of having a happy and healthy pregnancy and baby.
