Pregnancy & Post-natal:

Diet, environmental and lifestyle factors all impact on your hormonal health. With a good understanding, there is a lot you can do to improve your reproductive health and wellbeing.

Birth in Balance's pre-conception health care programs can assist you with:

• diet and lifestyle recommendations, including what to avoid and the importance of maintaining a healthy body weight
• improving natural fertility and supporting fertility treatment
• identifying nutrient deficiencies and optimum nutrition programs

Optimal nutrition is also essential during and after pregnancy for both mother and baby.  Pregnancy and breastfeeding are the two most nutritionally demanding times for women, with many vitamin and mineral requirements doubling during pregnancy.

Nutritional advice can help you meet these increased requirements, as well as manage conditions such as constipation, fatigue, morning sickness, heartburn, haemorrhoids, muscular cramps, cravings and anxiety.

Even the most well trained of us can be mystified about what can and can’t be eaten during pregnancy. Sound nutritional advice can help ease the confusion, so you can feel confident about making the right food choices throughout your pregnancy.

Ensuring your body receives the right nourishment during pregnancy can also assist your labour, as well as your post natal recovery and health.

It is just as important to continue to nourish your body after your baby is born. Looking after your baby’s needs can take a toll on your energy levels and if you’re breastfeeding, you’ll need an increased amount of energy to keep going and meet the demands of a hungry baby.

Birth in Balance specialises in nutritional consultations for couples wanting to optimise their fertility, as well as pregnancy and post natal health.
