Fertility & PregnancyHow nutrition supports a healthy pregnancy
Fertility
A fertility dietitian can assess your current diet and ensure you’re getting the right balance of macronutrients and micronutrients (like folate, iron, zinc, and omega-3s) that support reproductive health.
Optimize Nutritional Status for Conception
Conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, gastrointestinal disorders, and insulin resistance can impact fertility. A dietitian can create a tailored eating plan to manage these conditions and improve fertility outcomes.
Manage Underlying Health Conditions
Both underweight and overweight individuals can experience reduced fertility. A dietitian can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight through sustainable dietary changes, improving ovulation and hormone regulation.
Achieve a Healthy Weight
Nutrition can affect the success rates of assisted reproductive technologies. Dietitians can provide evidence-based strategies to enhance egg and sperm quality, and optimize the body for embryo implantation.
Support IVF or IUI Success
Fertility isn’t just about egg quality, male nutrition matters too. A fertility dietitian can guide dietary changes to boost sperm count, motility, and morphology.
Improve Sperm Health
Common deficiencies in nutrients like vitamin D, B12, or iron can go unnoticed and affect reproductive health. Dietitians can spot these through dietary analysis and recommend food or supplement strategies.
Address Nutrient Deficiencies
Chronic inflammation and hormonal imbalances can interfere with ovulation and implantation. A fertility-focused diet can help regulate these systems.
Reduce Inflammation and Support Hormonal Balance
Good preconception nutrition sets the foundation for a healthy pregnancy, reducing the risk of complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and low birth weight. If you’re considering trying to conceive or have been struggling, a fertility dietitian can offer individualized support that complements medical treatment and enhances your chances of success.
Promote a Healthy Pregnancy
Pregnancy
Pregnancy increases your body’s demand for nutrients like folate, iron, calcium, iodine, and DHA. A dietitian helps you meet these needs through food and appropriate supplements.
Ensure You’re Meeting Nutritional Needs
Gaining too much or too little weight during pregnancy can affect both maternal and baby outcomes. A dietitian provides personalized guidance based on your pre-pregnancy weight and trimester.
Support Healthy Weight Gain
Learn how personalized nutrition strategies can help lower your risk of complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and more.
Reduce Risk of Developing Pregnancy Related Complications
Critical nutrients like choline, iron, omega-3s, and zinc influence your baby’s brain, organ, and bone development. A dietitian ensures your intake supports optimal fetal growth.
Support Baby’s Growth and Brain Development
Nausea, food aversions, heartburn, constipation, and bloating are common in pregnancy. A dietitian can recommend safe dietary strategies and food swaps to ease discomfort.
Ease Common Digestive Issues
Tailor Advice for Special Diets
(e.g., IBD specific diets, gluten-free, food allergies or intolerances)
If you follow a restrictive diet or have food intolerances, a dietitian ensures you’re still meeting all your nutritional requirements safely.
Nutrition in the final weeks of pregnancy plays an important role in preparing your body for labor, supporting milk production, and promoting postpartum recovery. Working with a pregnancy dietitian can help you navigate this transition with confidence, ensuring your meals meet your changing needs.
