In todays episode we talk you through the ins and outs of pregnancy nutrition. Nutrition during pregnancy is often overlooked and we are usually told all of the things we can’t be consuming but are rarely told of the importance of certain nutrients for mother and her baby through the different stages of pregnancy.
The goal of nutritional treatment in pregnancy is to ensure adequate intake to meet the increasing maternal nutritional needs due to the expansion of maternal tissues such as the uterus, breasts, blood cell mass, growth of the baby and the placenta. Then of course on top of this we are able to treat specific health conditions if needed throughout the pregnancy such as morning sickness, fatigue, gestational diabetes, anaemia, pre-eclampsia, reflux - the list can go on.
Today we bust myths, dive into food groups and equip you with all of the need to know information
