Pregnancy

During pregnancy, nutritional needs change significantly to support both the mother's health and the baby's development. Seeing a specialised prenatal dietitian during this time ensures that you receive professional and personalised advice on how to meet these evolving requirements. A dietitian can provide detailed guidance on nutrition throughout the different stages of pregnancy, help manage pregnancy-specific conditions like gestational diabetes, morning sickness, constipation and recommend dietary adjustments to support optimal fetal growth and maternal health. This tailored approach helps ensure that both you and your baby receive the best possible nutritional care, giving you peace of mind and ensuring your baby has the best start in life.
