Pregnancy Support Programme

Your Pregnancy Support

Getting pregnant may have been straightforward, or it may have taken months or years of trying, treatment and uncertainty. However you arrived here, pregnancy brings a whole new set of questions.

What should I be eating now? Are my supplements still appropriate? What if I can barely face vegetables? Is nausea affecting what I can eat? How do I support my baby’s development while also looking after myself?

My Pregnancy Nutrition & Support Package is designed to give you personalised guidance throughout pregnancy, helping you navigate the nutritional, lifestyle and practical changes that occur across each trimester — without adding another layer of overwhelm.

Rather than following a generic pregnancy diet, we will look at your individual nutritional needs, symptoms, lifestyle, medical history and preferences, adapting your recommendations as your pregnancy progresses.

Across our sessions, we will explore the changing nutritional requirements of pregnancy, including:

  • Macronutrient and micronutrient requirements throughout pregnancy
  • Prenatal supplementation, including reviewing your existing supplements as your needs change
  • Supporting your nutritional status and identifying potential nutrient gaps
  • Managing common pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, food aversions, fatigue, constipation, reflux and changing appetite
  • Practical strategies when eating a balanced diet feels difficult
  • Blood testing and additional nutritional testing where appropriate
  • Hydration, movement, exercise and other lifestyle considerations
  • Preparing nutritionally and practically for birth
  • Postnatal nutrition and recovery
  • An introduction to key nutritional considerations for your baby during the fourth trimester

 

 The emphasis throughout is on practical, realistic support. Your recommendations will evolve with your pregnancy.

By the end of the programme, you will have a much clearer understanding of how to make informed nutrition and lifestyle choices for yourself and your baby — both during pregnancy and as you move into the postnatal period. A follow on consultation can be added once baby has arrived. We do offer a full Post Partum Package too (click here to find out more)

We will continually reassess where you are, what you need and what feels achievable for you, so that your plan remains personalised, practical and relevant throughout your pregnancy.
