Questions people ask
Do nutrient needs change every week of pregnancy?
The daily reference amounts for pregnancy stay the same from week to week. Niva changes which nutrients come first in its food ideas, so the focus moves while the targets do not.
Where do the food examples come from?
From ACOG's healthy eating during pregnancy guidance, and for iron from our Read on iron. Nutrients without a sourced food list show none.
Does Niva keep the week I pick?
No. The finder runs in your browser and loads one fixed data file. Nothing you choose is sent, stored or measured.
