• calories and weight gain throughout pregnancy and after delivery;
• important vitamins and minerals and how to include them in your eating plan;
• what, and how much, exercise is best before, during, and after pregnancy;
• keeping food safe, and foods to avoid during pregnancy;
• how to manage morning sickness, gestational diabetes, and more; and
• what to eat when breastfeeding
