Pregnancy & Fertility Nutrition
Eating well before and during pregnancy sets the foundation for your baby’s development and your own wellbeing. Pregnant women require extra nutrients such as folate, iron, calcium, iodine and vitamin D, plus about 300 extra calories per day after the first trimester. A state‑registered dietitian helps ensure you meet these needs while managing nausea, cravings and appetite changes.

During pregnancy and when trying to conceive, nutrition plays a critical role in fertility, fetal growth and maternal health. Many women experience obstacles to healthy eating such as nausea, fatigue or food aversions. Working with a dietitian provides personalised solutions.
- Ensure adequate intake of folate, iron, calcium, iodine and vitamin D.
- Manage morning sickness and cravings while meeting energy needs.
- Support healthy weight gain and prevent gestational diabetes.
