"I cried into a bowl of plain rice at 10 weeks pregnant because I was too nauseous to cook, and honestly, too confused by all the conflicting nutrition advice online. That moment is why I now create clear, no-BS nutrition guides, simple meal plans, and pregnancy eating guides that actually work. You deserve better than Google-induced panic, and I promise, it can be simpler than you think."Maya Hart, founder & mom of two
The Person Behind the Guides
Hi, I'm Maya Hart.
I'm a mom of two, a former marketing professional, and the founder of HomeBumpMeals. After a surprise gestational diabetes diagnosis left me drowning in confusing nutrition advice, I turned my tiny kitchen into a test lab for meal plans and nutrition guides that actually work.
While I'm not a doctor, I meticulously research every nutrition guide using established prenatal nutrition guidelines from trusted organizations like ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) and the ADA (American Diabetes Association). My goal is to share the clear, evidence-based nutrition guidance that actually worked for me and thousands of other moms in the trenches.
*Disclaimer: Nutrition guides are for informational purposes based on personal experience and published guidelines. Always consult your OB-GYN or healthcare provider for medical advice.*
