Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Preconception is an important time, during which both prospective parents can prepare their bodies by ensuring good nutrition to assist fertility and conception. Once conception has occurred, then continuing with a high quality, nutrient dense diet and balanced lifestyle can support the health of both mother and baby.
Nutritional needs increase significantly during pregnancy to meet the demands of the growing baby and to allow for changes in your own body.
The government recommends supplementing with 400µg of folic acid for at least three months prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. The government also recommends supplementing with 10µg of vitamin D for three months preconception and during pregnancy.
We recommend that women take an all-round multivitamin and mineral along with omega-3 fatty acids during preconception, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
