🎉 Welcome to Ask Kristy!

This is your space to ask all your burning questions about mum health—pregnancy, breastfeeding, postpartum—you name it, I’m here to help. 💛

Today, we’re diving into a big one:

🤔 Can your diet really lower the risk of gestational diabetes or preeclampsia?

What you eat during pregnancy isn’t just about your growing bub—it’s about taking care of you too. 🌸

🌟 For gestational diabetes: Balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and fiber help keep blood sugar stable.

🌟 For preeclampsia: Add colorful fruits and veggies, plus calcium and magnesium-rich foods to support healthy blood pressure.

Ready to learn more? Watch this reel to get the full scoop! 💛

👋 Anyone else feel like they're running on caff

👋 Anyone else feel like they're running on caffeine and chaos some days?

Trust me, I know that feeling when drinking a hot coffee, while it's actually still hot, feels like winning the lottery! 😅

That’s why I’ve built a few simple, doable habits into my daily routine to keep me feeling my best (and practising what I preach 😉)

Here’s what’s been working for me lately:

🥚 Eggs are a powerhouse – Packed with choline, vitamins A and D, they’re my go-to for quick, nourishing meals (bonus: super easy to eat on the go!).

🍲 Bone broth for glycine and collagen – A must for postpartum healing and supporting baby’s growth during pregnancy.

🏋️‍♀️ My "something is better than nothing" movement rule – I always have a daily minimum. Some days, it’s just 10 squats before bed, but even a little movement goes a long way.

These habits remind me that small, consistent steps can have a huge impact on your health.

💬 What’s your go-to habit for staying on top of your health during pregnancy or postpartum? Let me know below! ⬇️

Think your prenatal gummies have you covered? Thin

Think your prenatal gummies have you covered? Think again! ✨

Sure, gummies are easy and taste great, but they might be leaving serious gaps in your nutrition—and your baby deserves better than that.

Iron? Missing.
Choline? Not there.
DHA? Nope.

👉 Here’s why: Gummies can’t contain the same quantity or combination of nutrients as capsules. For example, iron doesn’t mix well with other nutrients in a gummy form, and DHA and choline require higher doses or different formulations that gummies just can’t deliver.

These nutrients are essential for your baby’s growth and your health during pregnancy, and skipping them could mean you’re not as prepared as you think.

➡️ SWIPE RIGHT to find out:

What’s missing in gummies (and why it matters).
The nutrients you really need for pregnancy.
How to fill the gaps with better options and real food.

Because when it comes to your baby, you can’t afford to cut corners. 💕

Mamas! 💝 Let's talk about something amazing you

Mamas! 💝 Let's talk about something amazing your body creates - colostrum, or as many of us call it, "liquid gold" ✨

Colostrum is the very first milk your body produces after giving birth. This nutrient-rich, thick milk is specifically designed to meet your newborn’s needs in the first few days of life.

Let me break down why this stuff is literally incredible 👇

🛡️ Think of it as your baby's personal bodyguard! It's packed with antibodies (especially something called IgA) that help protect your little one from those pesky germs.
🌱 Your baby's tummy is super tiny and delicate right now, but here's the cool thing - colostrum is like the perfect starter food! It's gentle and just right for those first few days.

👶It also contains growth factors that help to strengthen and mature your baby’s gut lining, reducing the risk of conditions like leaky gut.

💉Think of colostrum as your baby’s first vaccine. It helps build resilience to germs and sets up a foundation for good health.

✨ Colostrum is more than just food; it’s a superpower. This precious liquid provides your baby with the best possible start to life, supporting their immune system, growth, and overall health.

Every drop counts! 🌈

Here's a pro tip I love sharing with my expecting mums 👉 Did you know you can hand express and store colostrum before birth? This can be a game-changer if your baby needs extra support postpartum!

Supporting your breastfeeding journey starts here! 💛

Hey mama, I see you. 💕 Nourishing yourself whi

Hey mama, I see you. 💕

Nourishing yourself while breastfeeding can feel like a constant juggling act, especially when you’re trying to stick to a budget.

But here’s the truth: small swaps in how you shop can make a BIG difference — both for your wallet and your health. ✨

👉 Swipe right to see the cost breakdown of raw vs. processed foods and how these simple changes can help you nourish yourself and your baby while saving money.

We’ll compare things like:

- Porridge sachets vs. quick oats
- Bagged spinach vs. whole spinach
- Block cheese vs. sliced cheese
- Canned soup vs. dried soup mix
- Fresh tomatoes vs. pasta sauce jars
- Sliced deli meat vs roast meat

Raw ingredients are often cheaper, lower in salt, sugar, and additives, and packed with more nutrients and fibre to keep you feeling good for longer. But let’s be real — as a busy mum, convenience is key! 💡 Canned, frozen, or pre-packaged options can still be nutritious and save time. Just keep an eye out for lower salt, sugar, and higher fibre options where possible.

Ready to make nourishing yourself simple and stress-free? Check out my Postnatal Roadmap program - where you get 7 day menu plans for 6 months, relevant to the postpartum stage you and your baby are in!

If I could go back, I’d tell my pregnant self one thing: don’t underestimate the power of good nutrition during labour. 💪🍎

When you’re preparing for birth, it’s easy to get wrapped up in all the logistics and emotions.

But just like running a marathon, fueling your body with the right foods can make a huge difference in how you feel and how much energy you have when it counts the most. ✨

From energy-boosting carbs to protein that helps you stay steady through each contraction, the right nutrition can keep you strong, focused, and ready to tackle the journey ahead.

And let’s not forget those quick snacks and hydration—sometimes, a simple granola bar can make all the difference! 🥤🍌

👉 SWIPE RIGHT to see what I wish I’d known about eating and hydrating for labour.

Whether it’s keeping fibre in mind to avoid unexpected surprises or prepping post-birth snacks to support recovery, these tips are here to make you feel empowered and prepared!

The funniest thing someone said to me about pregna

The funniest thing someone said to me about pregnancy nutrition…

“You’re craving pickles? That must mean it’s a boy!” 🥒👶

Pregnancy cravings bring out some of the wildest (and funniest!) advice!
From pickles to ice cream, everyone has a theory about what your cravings “mean.” But let’s set the record straight 👇

1️⃣ Cravings don’t predict baby’s gender

Sorry, but craving pickles doesn’t mean it’s a boy! Cravings are often random or tied to nutrient needs—not gender predictions.

2️⃣ Why pregnancy cravings happen

Hormonal shifts, heightened senses, or even nutrient needs can trigger cravings. Nothing mystical here, but it sure makes pregnancy interesting! 🌈✨

3️⃣ Enjoy your cravings

Satisfy those cravings (pickles and all!) in moderation. They’re part of this unique journey, so embrace it! 🍫🥒🍟

And let’s be real, everyone has a craving theory. Sometimes the best thing to do is just laugh and enjoy the ride. 💛

What’s the funniest craving advice you got? Or, what was your most unusual craving?
