Sorry, but this is all incorrect. The link to the evidence that backs me up is in the comments. At 7 Birds Midwifery I always strive to give full informed consent.

Here’s what IS NOT BEING EXPLAINED 👇

Baby enters the world with cord blood 🩸 rich in stem cells…

meant to flow freely & repair tissues stressed during birth ✅

Low vit K at birth is absolutely NOT an error 🚨

It MEANT to keep blood fluid so those stem cells can actually reach where they’re needed ‼️

Then comes the first milk - colostrum ✨

Naturally higher in vitamin K.
Given orally.
Slow, gradual, biological🙏

But instead of letting that process finish…

✂️ Early cord clamping
🩸Up to 30% of blood volume gone
💉Synthetic vitamin K injected minutes after birth

No real conversation about timing.
No mention of oral options.
No breakdown of ingredients.

😡😤🤬

And what’s inside that shot?

💉Polysorbate 80 — linked to blood-brain barrier disruption
💉Propylene glycol - an industrial solvent
💉Benzyl alcohol - associated with newborn gasping syndrome
💉Sometimes aluminum - because why not

All to “fix” a natural system that already had a plan…

Protein...protein...protein...

Its the new Marsha.

If you've been following ANYONE on Social Media, I'm sure you've heard how amazingly important protein is...yes it is.

Like everything in physiology, we need balance.

Most studies that look at protein in pregnancy are looking at low protein diets versus the recommended protein intake, not excessively high protein intake. So let's take a look at those macros.

A low protein diet in pregnancy is considered a diet that consists of 15% or less of the calories coming from proteins.

A high protein diet in pregnancy is considered a diet consisting of 30% or more of the calories coming from proteins. 30% is what is currently recommended for pregnancy. And this equates to about 70 - 100grams of protein per day.

What we also see is that the protein type tends to matter, more so when it is imbalanced. Meaning we have high heme iron-based proteins AKA red meat, but a decrease in antioxidant intake, AKA fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and whole grains.

👉🏼Comparing highest vs lowest intake, total protein and animal protein during pregnancy were linked to significantly higher GDM risk, with a dose response. Each +5% of energy from total protein during pregnancy = 20-24% higher GDM odds, this was stronger for animal protein intake.

👉🏼A 2025 Japanese study found that high preconception protein intake (top quintile of % energy) was associated with a higher risk of early GDM diagnosis

Protein Source matters. Something I see a lot is patients trying to reach these extremely high protein goals and consuming lots of processed proteins.

👉🏼A 2025 Greek cohort found that high pre-pregnancy intake of processed proteins predicted GDM in normal BMI women.

No study finds that protein intake greater than 100 grams per day is more protective or add additional benefit in pregnancy, and more studies show that going above and beyond this may actually cause more harm than good depending on the source.
