Pregnancy is a demanding time for the body and you will need to eat a little more energy (kilojoules) each day than what was needed before pregnancy. You will also have greater nutrient needs for protein, iron, iodine and folate. Therefore good nutrition in pregnancy is more about the quality of food eaten than the quantity. Our Accredited Practising Dietitian can help advise you on:
- Optimal nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including twin pregnancy
- Healthy pregnancy weight management
- Managing nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (morning sickness)
- Gestational diabetes
- Food safety during pregnancy
