The Prenatal Nutrition Tool was developed to support care providers working with pregnant clients. The tool helps to focus conversations on nutrition topics that influence maternal and infant health outcomes. A key component of the tool is the conversation guide that supports care providers to have meaningful client centred conversations with pregnant clients.
​
The Prenatal Nutrition Tool is not intended to be used as a patient handout. It is also not a screening tool for medical conditions, such as gestational diabetes, or a replacement for an in-depth prenatal nutrition assessment.
