Dissertation done!

It's been a tough few months, but Katja has now finished her midwifery dissertation, and got it back from the printers today.

"How may a vegetarian diet effect pregnancy outcomes?". Whilst it's becoming pretty clear that a plant-based diet is significantly better for us in the general population, as evidenced for example by the excellent EPIC study, it's more complicated during pregnancy as dietary needs are greater and different.

On balance it seems it's still better to be veggie, but the key message was that there needs to be much more EPIC-like research specifically around diet in pregnancy.

As for what she's doing with that pinard, your guess is as good as mine!
