Nutrition for pregnancy

Having a baby is the most incredible life changing thing that you can do. As the food that you eat, will be providing the only source of nutrition for your growing baby, it’s vital that you not only eat the right foods but also in the right quantities.

Quite often the information available on what to eat during pregnancy is conflicting and confusing. What we aim to do here at The Nutritional Therapy Clinic, is not only guide you on what not to eat but also give clear and concise advice on beneficial foods for you and your baby. Our Nutritional Therapist Emma Vanlint is a mum herself, so she can give first hand advice on how to optimise your diet whilst working or looking after children. 

Optimum nutrition during pregnancy can be crucial for both you and the baby. With the right foods and supplements its possible to substantially reduce the risk of birth defects, low birth weight, boost your babies IQ, and also reduce the risk of your baby inheriting allergies or conditions such as eczema or asthma.  For you it is possible to reduce the chance of getting stretch marks, morning sickness, anaemia, pre-eclampsia, fatigue, constipation and mood swings.

At the end of the consultation you will take away with you, a guide on foods to avoid, a detailed description on the most beneficial nutrients and their food sources, a nutrition plan for labour, plus a practical food and dietary plan with meal suggestions and recipes, which ties all the information together.

Post pregnancy

Having a baby is a huge undertaking for the body so it is important to look after your body’s needs once your baby has come along. Many women can suffer from post-natal depression in the subsequent months after giving birth however this can be avoided with optimum nutrition.  A good diet can also help provide you with the energy and stamina needed for looking after your newborn and aid getting your body back in shape.
