In this weeks episode of the RD Exam Made Easy Podcast, you'll get a review of nutrition during pregnancy. In particular, you'll learn about the recommended weight gain during pregnancy as well as the recommended amount of calories and protein needed to promote a healthy pregnancy. 

There's a lot of vitamins and minerals (the micronutrients). You'll get a review of some of the important ones during pregnancy. 

And I give another incredible RD2Be who just became an RD a huge shout out. I love welcoming new RD's into this amazing community.

This is what you'll learn in this episode:

• A case study of a teenage pregnancy
• A review of the recommended weight gain in pregnancy
• The definition of preterm, term and postterm pregnancy
• The importance of optimal nutrition including adequate macronutrient and micronutrient intake during pregnancy
• A quick review of the role of hormones during pregnancy
