Specialized counselling during pregnancy is based on an individualized approach to each expectant mother. Understanding her individual nutritional needs, health status, lifestyle and personal goals is crucial for providing support in the best possible way.
The focus of working with pregnant women is to ensure optimal nutrition that can meet the needs of the mother and support the healthy growth and development of the unborn child throughout all stages of pregnancy, following both the mother’s and the foetus’s nutritional needs. The mother’s body weight is also monitored, and dietary recommendations are adjusted to ensure the healthy growth and development of the baby.
In the case of nausea, vomiting, or other pregnancy-related difficulties, dietary strategies are adapted to ease the pregnancy experience and ensure adequate nutrient supply.
Balanced meal plans are accompanied by advice on vitamin and mineral intake in line with the patient’s health condition. Expectant mothers receive guidance on key nutrients such as folate, iron, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids and other essential elements.
Discussions cover increased energy needs, adjustments to dietary habits, and management of potential challenges. Pregnant women are also informed about dietary factors that help prevent and manage potential complications during pregnancy, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and other health challenges. Last but not least, education for future mothers covers food safety to avoid potential threats to the unborn child.
