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
