Pregnancy
Eating well during pregnancy ensures that you and your baby receive all the essential nutrients necessary for growth and development. But what does a healthy diet look like for a pregnant woman? How can you ensure you’re eating well during this time? Your registered dietitian from ABC Health Clinic is here to help!
During these 40 weeks, your body undergoes significant changes. Consequently, your nutritional needs also change. Your registered dietitian will assist you in adapting your diet to meet your new needs, providing practical strategies tailored to your daily reality. Yes, it’s a little more complex than just “eating for two”! Together, you can determine which prenatal supplements are relevant for you. You can also create a list of foods to limit or avoid during this period to ensure your safety and that of your baby. During nutrition appointments, weight monitoring may also be conducted to ensure appropriate weight gain.
Pregnancy also comes with its share of symptoms that can impact nutrition directly or indirectly: loss of appetite, changes in taste (including cravings for pickles and ice cream sundaes!), fatigue, heartburn, and constipation. Your dietitian will help you alleviate these symptoms through dietary adjustments, allowing you to fully enjoy your pregnancy.
If you have a pre-existing health condition that affects your pregnancy, such as hypertension or gestational diabetes, your dietitian can provide guidance on how to adapt your diet accordingly.
Whether you’re planning to conceive in the coming months or have recently received the good news, schedule an appointment now with your registered dietitian at ABC Health Clinic. We’ll be delighted to assist you in achieving your goals and support you throughout this new journey!
