Expectant mothers have been advised to seek nutritionists' services for advice on food to be taken during their pregnancy journey.
Speaking to KNA in her office, Phoebe Wangui, a nutrition consultant at Nyahururu Teaching and Referral Hospital, said a nutritionist plays a crucial role in society, especially to expectant mothers, infants, and aged people with hypertension and diabetes, as he or she guides them in the management of their conditions.
Ms.
Wangui said a nutritionist can advise an expectant mother how she should feed throughout the three trimesters of pregnancy, that is, the first trimester (1-12 weeks), the second trimester (13-27 weeks), and the last trimester (28-40 weeks).
