At Health Hatch, our Registered Dieticians provide personalised nutrition support for pregnancy, breastfeeding and postpartum recovery, including for women managing PCOS, thyroid conditions, diabetes, gestational diabetes or weight concerns.
Pregnancy nutrition is about supporting maternal health, fetal growth and appropriate pregnancy weight gain through adequate energy, protein, iron, folate, calcium, Vitamin D, iodine and other essential nutrients. Your requirements change throughout pregnancy, so your nutrition plan should evolve too.
Common priorities include nutritional adequacy, managing nausea and food aversions, hydration, prenatal supplements as medically advised, and food safety.
Nutrition increasingly focuses on protein, iron, calcium, fibre, adequate energy and balanced meals.
We continue to focus on nutrient adequacy, protein, iron, calcium, hydration, digestive comfort and preparing for postpartum nutrition.
Pregnancy can become more complex when you are also managing PCOS, gestational diabetes, pre-existing diabetes, hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, high blood pressure or other medical conditions. Your nutrition plan should therefore be personalised and coordinated with your medical care.
After delivery, your body needs nourishment for recovery. Postpartum nutrition can support recovery, energy, protein needs, iron, calcium, hydration, breastfeeding where applicable, and a gradual return to physical activity and sustainable weight management.
The postpartum period is not the time for extreme diets or rapid weight loss. The focus should be to recover, nourish, rebuild and gradually optimise. Your calorie and nutrient needs also depend on whether you are breastfeeding.
Postpartum nutrition can also become part of interpregnancy care. If you're considering another pregnancy, we can help you transition from postpartum recovery to metabolic health to preconception nutrition.
Your nutrition needs don't stop after conception. Health Hatch can support the changing journey from preconception to pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding and your next pregnancy.
A varied, nutrient-dense diet containing adequate protein, fruits, vegetables, whole grains or other minimally processed carbohydrates and essential micronutrients is important during pregnancy.
Energy requirements change throughout pregnancy and vary between individuals. Your nutrition should be personalised rather than based on a generic "eating for two" approach.
Pregnancy is generally not the time for intentional weight-loss dieting. Weight gain recommendations depend on pre-pregnancy BMI and individual circumstances.
Postpartum nutrition should support recovery, energy, nutrient needs and breastfeeding where applicable.
The timing depends on your recovery, delivery, breastfeeding status, medical health and healthcare provider's guidance.
Health Hatch provides nutrition support and does not replace diagnosis or treatment from your fertility specialist, physician or other qualified healthcare professional.
