About This Site

I'm Gina, the woman behind Pregnancy Food Checker. My mission is to help pregnant mothers enjoy food safely during pregnancy by banishing myths and giving clear, real-life examples. I hold a Certification on Nutrition and Lifestyle during Pregnancy from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and a Diploma in Human Nutrition.

All our content is either written or medically reviewed by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) for accuracy and in keeping with current advice on optimal maternal nutrition. I love writing about food and sharing knowledge in the hope it makes every pregnancy a little bit easier.
