🔑 Iron is a key nutrient during pregnancy that supports fetal development. 📉 Iron deficiency affects about 1 in 10 pregnant women and 1 in 4 women during their third trimester.
Everyone deserves a healthy start and nutrition lays the foundation for brighter, healthier futures.

Canada significantly undercounts maternal deaths, and doctors are sounding the alarm. Most deaths can be prevented, experts say, but there is no national system to learn lessons, change outcomes, by Chelsea Gomez, @tarajcarman cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-ma… via @cbcnews @HelenScott55
Every mother counts.
Yet, in Canada we don’t count them.
