Healthy Eating and Great Nutrition for Healthy Pregnancy, Pre-conception and Breast Feeding too!

If you are looking for a dietitian in  Melbourne to provide advice on nutrition / diet for a healthy pregnancy, we can help.

Never before have we had so much evidence showing us the importance of following a healthy diet before and during pregnancy. Being at a healthy weight, only gaining the recommended amounts of weight, taking the appropriate dietary supplements before, during and after pregnancy is very important for:

• having a healthy pregnancy and decreasing the health risks to yourself during pregnancy and labour;
• having a healthy baby, and decreasing the health risks to the baby during growth and development, including the risk of miscarriage, abnormalities, still birth or risk of problems during labour; and
• decreasing the long term health risks to your children, which we now believe are programmed during foetal growth and development

Let us help you on the road to a healthier pregnancy and healthy baby ..

Claire is a mother to two healthy children both conceived in her late 30's and early 40's. She has a special interest in pre-conception and pregnancy nutrition. Claire has also worked with many women who have PCOS or fertility problems (Claire has PCOS herself).

Claire can meet with you (partners are very welcome!) to review your current diet and provide suggestions of areas you could change to maximise health for yourself and your baby.

• improving fertility through diet and lifestyle changes
