Being pregnant should be a joyous and blessed time, but often women can suffer from fatigue, illness and unnecessary complications. A clear understanding of specific nutrition requirements during pregnancy can resolve many potential issues for both you and your baby.
Did you know that around 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage or stillbirth? Scientific research has shown that with the right nutritional knowledge and lifestyle choices, this number could be greatly reduced.
Calcium, magnesium and zinc supplementation may help prevent pre-eclampsia. Calcium in particular approximately halves the risk.
Omega-3 fatty acids are critical for foetal neurodevelopment, and could influence the timing of gestation and birth weight.
Caffeine metabolism slows as pregnancy progresses. A high caffeine intake is often associated with late miscarriage and stillbirth.
Cravings for non-food items may be linked to low iron/zinc levels. Iron requirements increase notably during pregnancy.
