Before you’re even pregnant, food starts feeling like something you can get WRONG.
You’re trying to conceive, and the foods you’ve eaten without thinking for years suddenly feel like decisions that matter.
You pick up the coffee you buy every week and wonder if you should be drinking less of it.
You’re standing at the seafood counter Googling a type of fish you’ve eaten a hundred times because now you’re wondering if it’s a good choice.
You hear that protein matters, so now you’re mentally calculating whether your breakfast had enough.
Someone mentions a food that “supports fertility” and suddenly you’re wondering if you should’ve been eating it for the last six months.
So you search.
Then you search something else.
Then you open one more tab because the first two answers don’t agree.
And now it’s 7:30, you’re hungry, you have 14 tabs open, and you STILL don’t know what you’re making for dinner.
Then you get pregnant and the questions multiply.
You’re halfway through ordering sushi when you stop and pull out your phone.
You’re in the cheese aisle flipping packages over looking for one word on the label you’ve never even noticed in the past.
You’re sitting at a restaurant staring at a menu you would’ve ordered from without thinking twice three months ago.
Now you’re wondering about the fish.
The dressing.
The cheese.
How the meat is cooked.
Whether you need to ask your server five separate questions before you can just... order dinner.
And at the exact same time, you’re hearing that you need more protein, iron, choline, vitamin D, magnesium, and more.
Cool.
Except the chicken you meal-prepped every Sunday before pregnancy now smells so bad you can’t even open the fridge without gagging.
So now you’re not just asking:
“What should I be eating?”
You’re asking:
“What can I actually eat today that’s safe, gives me what I need, and doesn’t make me feel sick just looking at it?”
Then your trimester changes.
And what worked a few weeks ago doesn’t work now.
Crackers and toast are finally losing their grip on your entire diet.
Now you finish lunch and you’re hungry again an hour later.
You read your nutrition needs have changed and you realize you have absolutely no idea what that means for the food sitting in your kitchen RIGHT NOW.
Do you need more food?
Different food?
More of a certain nutrient?
Does breakfast need to change?
What should you pack for work tomorrow?
What can you make tonight that checks enough boxes without requiring 45 minutes of research first?
And then baby arrives.
You’re running on broken sleep.
There’s a newborn attached to you most of the day.
You finally realize you haven’t eaten since 9 a.m., walk into the kitchen at 2:47, and need something you can make with one hand.
If you’re breastfeeding, you might feel like you could eat the entire pantry.
You’re also recovering, trying to feed yourself, thinking about milk supply, thinking about your own nutrition...
...while taking care of a brand-new human who does not care that you haven’t had lunch.
And THAT’S what makes this so exhausting.
The question isn’t just:
“What foods are healthy?”
It’s:
- Can I even eat this while pregnant?
- What do I eat when the foods I normally rely on suddenly sound disgusting?
- What can I make with protein and fiber with the groceries I have?
- What should a real breakfast, lunch, or dinner look like in the 2nd trimester?
- What changes when I move into another trimester, postpartum, or breastfeeding?
Because you don’t need one more night standing in front of the fridge, hungry, phone in your hand, Googling the food you’re about to eat.
You need ONE place you can check and move on with your day.
That’s what The Prenatal Nutrition Library gives you.
Before you grocery shop.
Before you order dinner.
Before you throw out a food because you’re not sure about it.
Before you spend another 20 minutes comparing three different answers online.
Open the app.
Search the food, ingredient, nutrient, or question you’re dealing with.
See the information for the stage you’re in.
And then get back to eating.
Inside, you can:
- Look up foods, ingredients, and supplements for quick, trusted answers.
- See what matters most for your current stage including key foods, nutrients, and supplements.

- Read the research behind the recommendation when you want the why.
- Keep using the app as your needs change from TTC through pregnancy, postpartum, lactation, and gestational diabetes.
No bouncing between ChatGPT, Google, Reddit, screenshots you saved six weeks ago, and that one Instagram post you swear you remember seeing.
Just the information you need for the stage you’re in.
So you can stop researching dinner.
And actually eat it.
Practical, evidence-based nutrition guidance, meal plans, and recipes designed for real life.

Great resource with Scientific research...
Dec 5Ryann and her team have put together a great and easy to use resource for so many questions my husband I had from pre-conception and through our pregnancy. Information is presented in thorough manner as well as easy to follow summary for each page. Peer reviewed articles are linked throughout.
Most Beneficial App for Pregnancy...
Mar 5This app has saved me on so many occasions already and I'm only halfway through my pregnancy. I have also learned SO much information about my pregnancy and nutrition. Definitely my favorite app I've had during pregnancy and even during preconception.
Get this app now!
Jun 27This app was sososo helpful while trying to get pregnant and throughout pregnancy. It's very user friendly and contains such a large amount of information for you to access. The search function is key when at a restaurant trying to figure out if something is safe to eat or not. I also loved that Ryann responded to everyone's specific questions on specific products. I definitely will be using this app again when I'm ready to get pregnant again!

“I'm so glad I joined TPNL months before my husband and I conceived for our first pregnancy. From searching the up-to-date evidence-based information in the library [and] submitting questions in the forum...Ryann and TPNL have helped me tremendously. As I'm now in my second trimester, I continue to utlitize all the membership features of TPNL to make confident and educated decisions about how I fuel and nourish myself and my baby. I appreciate Ryann and the TPNL team for all they do!”

“I feel like I'm more in control of my health and what I'm putting into my body. The one thing I think that scares me about pregnancy is all the restrictions but I've never understood why there are restrictions. Going through your program gives me confidence in making an educated decision on how I eat or what I put in my body based on actual research. Thank you so much for this! It's been honestly life changing. I can say I'm less stressed this pregnancy than I was with my last now that I feel educated.”
–Caitlin F., TPNL Member
“If you want a step by step plan with correct information, this is it! A to Z covers it all so you don't have to go guessing and searching for answers. I would've found a lot more value in my first pregnancy with this. Unfortunately, I wasted a lot of time doing a bunch of research already since it's my 3rd!”

I've helped thousands of women stop sorting through conflicting nutrition advice and feel better about what they're eating during pregnancy.
Because your body needs more than a prenatal vitamin can provide during pregnancy.
Pregnancy changes your appetite, cravings, energy, and what your body needs. You shouldn't have to research every bite to figure out what to eat.
I've already done that part for you.
So you can spend less time debating your food and more time eating in a way that supports you and your growing baby.
