WHAT WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU WITH:
Fertility Nutrition
Did you know what you eat in the lead up to conception has a huge impact on the health of your future baby their whole life?
Ensuring you are meeting your nutrient requirements prior to falling pregnant will ensure that you:
- Maximise your chance of falling pregnant sooner
- Minimise the risk of pregnancy complications which can arise from poor nutrition prior to conceiving.
- Assess any previous struggles with conceiving and really get down to the details on what foods/supplements you individually need to focus on to head in to a healthy pregnancy.
- Minimise the risk of developing any nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy or while post-partum
- Give your baby the best start to life, remembering that all of baby's major organs start forming in the first few weeks of conceiving!
- Reduce your baby's risk of developing Chronic diseases in later life such as Heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes!
It is recommended that you see a Fertility Dietitian to work on your diet at least 3-6 months before trying to fall pregnant in order to correct any nutritional deficiencies, improve existing reproductive conditions and boost egg and sperm health in the lead up to conceiving!
Pregnancy Nutrition
For the approximately 9 months you will be pregnant, your body is going through massive changes in order to form a healthy and well-developed baby. Calorie, nutrient and supplementation requirements will vary vastly from trimester to trimester and from woman to woman.
Seeing a specialised Pregnancy Dietitian will allow you to receive tailored individual support, so you can rest assured you're doing everything right for yourself and little one, and focus on actually enjoying your pregnancy!
A pregnancy dietitian can help support you with optimal nutrition for the prevention/management of:
- Pregnancy Fatigue
- Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy
- Hyperemesis Gravidarum
- Constipation
- Cholestasis
- Food Aversions
- Food Cravings
- Gestational Diabetes
- Type 1 Diabetes in Pregnancy
- Gestational Hypertension
- Pre-Eclampsia
- Anemia and more!
PostPartum and breastfeeding
The postpartum period is a critical time for both mother and baby with increased nutrient and calorie requirements for breastfeeding and post-birth recovery.
These requirements are even higher than during pregnancy!
A specialised Dietitian can help with:
- Choosing the right postnatal supplement for you
- Assessing any additional nutritional/caloric needs you may need depending on whether you are Breastfeeding exclusively, partially or formula-feeding
- Taking into consideration any additional nutritional needs you may need if recovering from C-section, tears or any other post-birth wound healing
- What to eat to maintain or boost milk supply
- What to eat to minimise risk of allergy development for baby
- What to eat to aid in the recovery from Maternal Nutrition Depletion
- Making nutritious choices when running on little sleep and energy
- Foods to improve mood
- Postpartum conditions that may arise such as Anemia or Thyroiditis
- Nutritional/caloric and supplementation requirements if breastfeeding and pregnant or intending to fall pregnant again within a few months of giving birth.
Thyroid Health
Optimum Thyroid function is non-negotiable for fertility, pregnancy, post-partum recovery and breastfeeding. Thyroid Disease has an impact on menstrual regularity, ovulation, ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to full-term. It is of key importance to include a Fertility and Pregnancy Dietitian sub-specialising in Thyroid Health to your Health Care team.
This is what we can help with:
- Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
- Graves Disease
- Hypothyroidism
- Hyperthyroidism
- Postpartum Thyroiditis
