Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed shortening should be strictly limited during pregnancy. This fat source contains high amounts of saturated fats and offers virtually no essential vitamins, minerals, or omega-3 fatty acids. Replace solid industrial shortenings with liquid plant oils such as extra virgin olive oil or canola oil. Check ingredient labels on packaged baked goods to avoid excess industrial fats.
