In this week's episode Hannah and Ali talk all things pregnancy. No, this isn't a pregnancy announcement and since neither Hannah or Ali have any lived experience with pregnancy they asked their dear friend and mama-to-be, the incredible Registered Dietitian Jenna Werner to join them for this episode. Jenna uses her passion for nutrition, her lens as an anti-diet dietitian and her own experiences navigating a changing pregnancy body to help answer these listener questions. What do I do when I can't even look at a vegetable during pregnancy? How do I balance the need to increase my protein and calcium intake when I don't feel like eating anything apart from animal crackers? Any advice on how to tolerate the changes to my body without returning to my old habits of controlling food? Is it true that you should watch your carbohydrate intake during pregnancy to avoid gestational diabetes and not gain too much weight? Is "eating for two" really a thing? Grab your pickles and your peanut butter and tune in for another awesome episode. Even pregnancy isn't free from the influence of diet culture and Hannah, Ali and Jenna are here to kick that BS out of the delivery room. This episode is sure to ease your worries and help make your pregnancy (or future pregnancy) a happy, healthy and diet rule free time in your life.

Make sure to head over to the @eatcakepod Instagram account Monday-Friday at 3pm PST for a live support "Snack Time & Chill"- a chance for a supported snack at a physical distance, to ask your nutrition questions and have some laughs along the way.
