Gut Health in Pregnancy: Simple Ways to Soothe Your Stomach and Support Baby

Gut health in pregnancy is important because the gut microbiome can influence digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune development for your baby. Hormonal changes can bring heartburn, constipation, and nausea, so simple, safe strategies can help soothe your stomach. Focus on small, regular meals, staying hydrated, and gradually increasing fiber with easy-to-digest fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Always check with your healthcare provider about symptoms and safe options during pregnancy, especially if you’re considering supplements or probiotics. In this space, InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers gut microbiome testing products for brands and direct-to-consumer use. Their Gut Health Index scores overall gut health on a 0–100 scale, built from a collaboration with EAFIT University in Colombia.
