The Prenatal Dietary Package enables women to optimally nourish themselves and their unborn babies throughout the three trimesters of pregnancy by providing three Meal Plan variations: one for each trimester. Even if you are already approaching your second trimester, the first trimester Meal Plan is designed as the essential clinical foundation for the subsequent stages of your pregnancy.

Prenatal Dietary Package Structure
This package has three distinct services.
1. In-depth Clinical Assessment: The first service in the package is an in-depth clinical assessment, which is broken into two parts:
a. The first part of the assessment includes a review of personal and family medical history, recent lab results, current medications and nutritional supplements, as well as your waist and hip measurements (10 minutes).
b. The second part of the assessment is a comprehensive dietary and lifestyle review, where I will collect detailed information, including what you like to eat and when, food likes and dislikes, religious, cultural, or ethical dietary restrictions, and other factors that impact your health and weight, such as sleep habits and activity level (50 minutes).
2. Design of Individual Meal Plan: The second service in the package is the design of three versions of your individual Meal Plan, one for each trimester of your pregnancy. The first trimester Meal Plan forms the basis for the other two and takes into account all the information collected during the assessment, medications you may be taking, risk factors you may have, lab test results, food preferences, and food restrictions, if any.
A detailed, multi-page Meal Plan Summary handout will be prepared to accompany the three variations of your Meal Plan, summarizing the content of the upcoming Nutritional Education Session. This Summary will also serve as a reference for you as you implement your Meal Plan.
The turnaround time for completing your Meal Plan will be approximately 2 weeks from the time I receive any requested or missing information, such as any nutrition labels or pending lab test results.
3. Nutrition Education Session: The third service in the package is the Nutrition Education Session, which begins with you receiving your Meal Plan, as well as the detailed, multi-page Meal Plan Summary handout.
The visit will begin with a review of any existing risk factors, including weight, waist circumference, or out-of-range lab test results. It will be followed by step-by-step teaching of your Meal Plan, including food categories, serving sizes, number of portions, and how to make substitutions within each food category at each meal.
You will also be provided with specific dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Unless time doesn’t permit, the session will conclude with an opportunity to ask questions to clarify what you were taught.
