Pregnancy nutrition can feel confusing
There is a lot to think about during pregnancy. Our dietitians can help you work out what is important for you without turning food into a long list of rules.
Preconception
Planning for pregnancy
Review your usual diet, supplements and key nutrients before pregnancy.
Pregnancy
Meeting changing needs

Symptoms
When eating gets harder
Find manageable strategies for nausea, food aversions, reduced appetite, reflux or constipation.
How a pregnancy dietitian can help
You might want reassurance that you are eating well, or you may need targeted support for a particular nutrition concern.
Pregnancy nutrition
Understand important nutrients such as folate, iron, iodine, calcium and protein, and how to include them through everyday foods.
Nausea & food aversions
Adapt meals, snacks and eating patterns when your usual foods suddenly become difficult to manage.
Gestational diabetes
Understand carbohydrate foods, portions and meal timing while still supporting your broader pregnancy nutrition needs.
Vegetarian & vegan pregnancy
Plan around the foods you choose while paying attention to nutrients that may need extra consideration.
Food allergies & intolerances
Make sure dietary restrictions do not make it unnecessarily difficult to meet your nutrition needs.
Meals & supplements
Get clearer guidance around everyday food choices, meal planning and your current supplements.
Your pregnancy diet does not need to be perfect.
We focus on the changes that are useful for you and what feels realistic at your current stage of pregnancy.
Personalised Support
Advice that fits your everyday life
Your dietitian will look at what you normally eat, your stage of pregnancy, symptoms, dietary restrictions and any advice from your maternity team.
We then focus on practical changes you can actually use, rather than giving you a generic pregnancy diet or rigid meal plan.
Support from a team that understands family life
Several members of our dietitian team are also mothers. Alongside their professional nutrition knowledge, they understand from personal experience that pregnancy and family life do not always go exactly to plan. Our approach is practical, supportive and focused on what is achievable for you.
