Pregnancy Care

NATUROPATHY & NUTRITION

A healthy diet is essential to optimize your health and that of your child, during pregnancy. Babies are completely formed by nutrients supplied by the mother’s nutritional intake. During pregnancy it is difficult to obtain all the nutrient’s required to make a healthy baby through diet alone. Our naturopath designs supplement regimes for each trimester to ensure healthy foetal development.

Naturopathy provides safe and effective ways to prevent, treat and manage various complaints that may arise during pregnancy, including:

nausea and vomiting
fatigue
constipation
cramping and/or restless legs
heartburn and Reflux
fluid retention
high blood pressure
pre-eclampsia
gestational diabetes
stretch marks
insomnia
varicose veins
sciatica, back pain and tight muscles
haemorrhoids
threatened miscarriage
birth preparation
