Registered Dietitian Nutritionist for Pregnancy and Perinatal Health

Ensure a healthy pregnancy with a balanced diet and the guidance of a registered dietitian nutritionist.

Why consult a dietitian during pregnancy?

Pregnancy is a period of significant physical and emotional changes. Nutritional needs evolve, and a balanced diet can contribute to the health of both the mother and the baby. Consulting a registered dietitian nutritionist provides personalized support that considers your food preferences, symptoms, and lifestyle.

Of course, you can read plenty of recommendations online… but the real value of a dietitian is showing you how to apply them in your daily life. In practice, this means:

• Healthy recipes that fit your lifestyle and tastes

• Simple meal ideas, even when fatigue sets in

• Practical grocery shortcuts to save time

• Realistic solutions that make healthy choices easy to integrate day by day

In short, a dietitian makes nutrition advice accessible, concrete, and tailored to your reality!

When should you see a dietitian during pregnancy?

Some women choose to consult at the very beginning of their pregnancy to be well-equipped from the first weeks. Others do so along the way, for example in cases of:

• Persistent nausea or digestive discomfort

• Difficulty managing weight gain

• Specific conditions such as gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, or anaemia

• Questions about safe foods and those to avoid

• Simply to eat better and feel confident in your choices

No matter the timing, a consultation can help you navigate your pregnancy more smoothly and prevent certain complications.

Understanding key aspects of nutrition during pregnancy

A diet adapted to changing needs

Each trimester brings different nutrient requirements (protein, iron, calcium, folates, etc.). A registered dietitian nutritionist can guide you in balancing meals without falling into unnecessary restrictions.

Myths and realities about “eating for two”

Pregnancy does not mean doubling your portions. Instead, the focus is on food quality, variety, and balance to meet both your needs and your baby’s.

Support for common discomforts

Reflux, constipation, fatigue: nutrition can play a role in easing these discomforts. A dietitian will suggest concrete, practical solutions tailored to your situation.

The role of nutrition in pregnancy follow-up

A personalized nutritional approach helps to:

• Promote optimal baby development

• Maintain stable energy levels

• Support healthy weight gain

• Reduce the risk of complications (gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.)

• Prepare the body for breastfeeding and postpartum recovery
