When should I start nutrition counseling during pregnancy?

You can start at any stage, though earlier is generally helpful. If you are planning a pregnancy, pre-conception nutrition support can help prepare your body. During pregnancy, guidance can be tailored to your current trimester.

Will the dietitian prescribe supplements?

Supplement recommendations are made based on individual assessment and in coordination with your obstetrician's guidance. We do not prescribe generic supplement doses without clinical basis. Your doctor's prescribed supplements always take priority.

Can I follow a vegetarian or vegan diet during pregnancy?

Yes, with appropriate planning. A vegetarian diet can meet pregnancy nutritional needs with careful attention to protein, iron, calcium, vitamin B12 and other key nutrients. Your dietitian will help ensure adequate intake from plant-based sources or recommend specific supplementation in coordination with your doctor.

Nutrition Support During Pregnancy and Lactation

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are periods of increased nutritional need. What you eat during these stages supports not only your own health but also the growth and development of your baby. Personalized nutrition guidance can help you meet these changing needs safely and practically.

Each trimester has different nutritional priorities — from managing nausea and ensuring adequate folate in the first trimester, to supporting fetal growth with iron, calcium and protein in the second and third trimesters. Postpartum and lactation nutrition focuses on recovery, milk production support and sustained energy for new mothers.

Nutrition support during pregnancy is individualized based on your health status, dietary preferences, any pregnancy-related conditions (such as gestational diabetes or iron-deficiency anaemia) and your obstetrician's recommendations. No generic supplement doses are prescribed without clinical basis.

Nutrition counseling for pregnancy and lactation complements — not replaces — care from your obstetrician or paediatrician. All dietary guidance is designed to work alongside your prenatal and postnatal medical care.
