About the Author

When Shubhra Mishra was expecting her first child in 2016, she was overwhelmed by conflicting food advice — one site said yes, another said never. By the time her second baby arrived in 2019, she realized millions of mothers face the same confusion.

That sparked a five-year journey through clinical nutrition papers, cultural diets, and expert conversations — all leading to BumpBites: a calm, compassionate space where science meets everyday motherhood.

Her long-term vision is to build a global community ensuring safe, supported, and free deliveriesfor every mother — because no woman should face pregnancy alone or uninformed. 🌿
