42. Cringey Prenatal Trends We’re Not Here For

In this episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Meg and Caitlin dive into two of the most pervasive (and problematic) pregnancy trends showing up on social media: the pressure for a “belly only pregnancy” and the outdated advice to “eat for two.” As a certified prenatal trainer and perinatal nutritionist, they’re here to break down what these messages get wrong—and what moms actually need to hear.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• Why the “belly only” trend is unrealistic, unhelpful, and rooted in toxic body ideals
• The truth about weight gain, hormones, and body changes during pregnancy
• What “eating for two” really means (and how to reframe it as “nourishing for two”)
• Key nutrients that matter most in each trimester—and how to meet your needs without guilt
• How to focus on strength, stamina, and fetal development over aesthetics

Tune in for a myth-busting conversation that will leave you feeling more empowered, more informed, and less pressured to look a certain way while growing a whole human.

If this episode gave you a sigh of relief, share it with a fellow pregnant mom who needs the real talk.
