About the Course

Nutrition and Lifestyle in Pregnancy offers an overview of the latest research findings and international recommendations on a variety of nutrition-related aspects and outcomes of pregnancy. Ensuring a healthy nutritional status and lifestyle prior to and during pregnancy is one of the best ways to help support the healthy growth and development of the unborn child. We will look at how a healthy diet and lifestyle should ideally be achieved prior to conception and provide recommendations for pre-conception counseling of women. We will also look at the nutrient recommendations for a healthy pregnancy to ensure optimal maternal and fetal outcomes as well as focus on the most common nutrition-related pregnancy complications; obesity and gestational diabetes. The learner will have the opportunity to delve into the cutting-edge world of epigenetic and metabolomic research and appreciate the enormous role that these programming effects have in long-term health and disease outcomes. Finally, we offer real-life, everyday situations and questions from pregnant women to aid healthcare professionals in the nutrition-based counseling of pregnant women and their families. In addition to the English original, subtitles in Portuguese language are available now! Once you finish this course, we invite you to navigate the world of nutrition in infancy during the first six months of life through our newly launched course "Breastfeeding and Adequate Substitutes"....

Beautifully explained short-lectures and an amazingly useful array of references given at the end of each session. Being a practicing obstetrician in the public sector in southern India, this course was an eye-opener in many ways and will definitely go a long way in providing optimal care to pregnant women. Kudos to the course designers.

This course strikes a wonderful balance: simple enough that a mother-to-be can successfully complete it and attain a wealth of knowledge for her pregnancy, and also in-depth enough that students seeking to enter the field of prenatal care will also learn from and be challenged by this course. I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel that I really took away tonnes of valuable information from this course. Thank you to the instructors!

Very informative and useful not only for health professionals, but also for future mothers and all those interested in nutrition in general (my case). It doesn't stay on the surface, you might need to educate yourself little bit in biochemistry if you have never heard anything about words like hemoglobin, hypoglycemia etc. But that was part of the fun - to actually keep searching and discovering.

Excellent! I was not expecting to be an in-depth course, neither to approach epigenetics. It surprised me in a really positive way. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about nutrition and lifestyle during pregnancy, specially to medical students, like me.

"Danke" to LMU and its amazing teachers for the opportunity. Regards from Brazil!

Amazing and really informative course gives you an in-depth analysis of the subject. The videos are compact with information. The tests are on the difficult side (and some question change if you retake them, so you can retake them for further testing the knowledge you obtained). Keep in mind that the reading material requires a lot more time than mentioned, if you want to do more than just read the titles you'll need 1-3 hours to complete each of the reading material than accompanies the video lectures.

detailed information about nutrition for general public to learn. great for those who are currently carrying.

information is geared towards normal-weight and obese women. some info about gestational diabetics, and a little about hyperemesis gravidarum.

information was a little dragged out/diluted for my taste but lectures were short enough to endure it. would have liked to see more info about meal planning and exercise prescriptions. overall, killed some time and learned a few things.

Благодарю создателей курса за столь ценную и доступную информацию! Курс проходить одно удовольствие, спикеры приятные, видео короткие и не перегружают, есть ссылки на источники, с которыми можно ознакомитьсч подробнее. Очень интересно и полезно, многие врачи в государственных клиниках, кажется, даже не в курсе большинства исследований и рекомендаций, что очень печально. Мне кажется, можно было бы еще добавить о влиянии стресса на беременных и способах релаксации.

I did not have a strong background on the most important recommendations for the health of the pregnant woman, and how to maintain the health of pregnancy from the first day of the last day ... I benefited from the research and studies in this course and expanded my horizons in knowing the nutrition of pregnant women fortunately now i have a great background about this subject and hope there will be more advanced courses and more complex

I learned a lot about the importance of the nutrition and lifestyle during the reproductive age and the pregnancy both in woman as in men. I loved wich one of the lessons and the easily comprensive of the videos. But I have a doubt about about the course certification because I haven´t recived a mail or anything about it. And I would like to know about it as soon as possible. Thank you

Muy buen curso, cubre aspectos básicos de la nutrición durante el embarazo de forma clara y sencilla. El material complementario es interesante y los videos también. Sin embargo, me habría gustado que se abordara más la alimentación de madres con dietas vegetarianas y veganas como un módulo aparte. Siento que este curso aporta a mi formación profesional.

It was indeed an excellent educational course, as it is rich in information and health knowledge, and it is of interest to many women and all health care workers, especially for pregnant women and the fetus, thank you very much for these efforts, especially for converting the educational material into an easy formula that can be understood by all.

The course inputs have helped to further my knowledge on nutrition and lifestyle management during pregnancy. Fish consumption need and the type of fish to be avoided during pregnancy is well brought about. The role of micro nutrients is made very clearly. The reference course materials are of immense value and the same is appreciated.

Though some of it is common sense, I never really realized just how much my body's condition prior to conception truly impacted my baby, not just during gestation, but for the rest of their lives. The more you can equip yourself with knowledge prior to pregnancy, the better future you can provide for yourself and your future children.

So glad that i completed this course. It is a knowledge bank and it has enhanced my vision to look at the pregnancy and nutrition. I loved how the delivery of the lecture was so practical and thoughtful. It is purely RESEARCH and EVIDENCE based lecture. I would love to be taught by the professors again in any related or new topics.

Very nice videos and many articles in the lists offered to read if you want to learn even more for nutrition and lifestyle in pregnancy. This is a very important topic that healthcare provider should be informed about and I definetely recommend it! Thanks to my university's collaboration with Coursera I had an extra motivation!

This course was incredibly informative, covering essential aspects of prenatal nutrition and lifestyle with depth and clarity. As a nutritionist, this course equips me with invaluable knowledge and skills to confidently support and optimize the health of expectant mothers, enhancing the well-being of both mother and child

Great course. I have learnt a lot of interesting things about pregnancy. I still have a lot of materials from the course to read but that gives me the oppotunity to understand better and maybe learn even more about nutrition and lifestyle in pregnancy. Why dont you take this course to, you'll be glad you did...

Being a first time expecting mum, I found the course incredibly informative and interesting. As a non-medical professional, I found it to be very scientific but still completely understandable. Would recommend to all women with an interest in health, fitness, nutrition and to seek reassurance in pregnancy.

Powerful dose of knowledge. I knew a lot but after this course I realized many crucial aspects that are really significant when taking care about all elements of nutrition in pregnancy. This course gave me a lot and I would like to recommended it to anyone who wants to widen his knowledge in the area.
