Nutrition is at the heart of midwifery care. Midwives discuss with their clients from the first meeting to 8 weeks post partum about their diet and what changes, if any, can be made. When we ask a woman to bring a 7-day diet history, it is more for her to see and evaluate than for us . Looking at this together, recommendations can be made but many times the woman already sees the improvements that are needed just by writing down what she’s been eating.
