Module 3 focuses on pregnant people in their third trimester, and the development of the brain and a healthy microbiome for both mom and baby. By the end of module 3, we hope that lay health workers will why healthy fats are important for brain development, and how what their patients eat affects their microbiome. We also hope they will understand the importance of hydration and discover why water is the best choice for meeting fluid needs. We also explore how to manage digestive discomfort during pregnancy.

These modules are meant to meet lay health workers where they are at. Please click the links below to download the PDF of the pre-module and view the coinciding lecture.
