How will the practice guide me through my pregnancy?

In addition to regular prenatal visits to check on your health and the growth and health of your baby, Dr. Lorenzo and his staff will offer support about how to care for your body during pregnancy.

How should I change my diet during pregnancy?

You don’t have to eat a special diet during pregnancy, just plan on meals that contain plenty of whole, unprocessed foods, such as lean proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, and dairy. Dr. Lorenzo will also recommend you take a prenatal vitamin to give you the nutrients — particularly folic acid, iron, calcium, and vitamin D — that might be deficient in your diet and support a healthy pregnancy. You must take this vitamin as directed daily.

Dr. Lorenzo and Kortney Jones will also help you navigate weight gain, which will likely be between 25 and 35 pounds depending on your starting weight and health.

What lifestyle adjustments should I make during pregnancy?

If you smoke or use drugs or alcohol, it’s time to quit. Any of these substances can interfere with a healthy pregnancy and fetus.

It’s safe to exercise during pregnancy unless you have a specific condition identified by Dr. Lorenzo, such as certain heart issues or severe anemia. If you’re concerned about the intensity of the workouts you’ve chosen or are new to exercise and don’t know where to start, talk with the doctor for guidance.
