Quick Facts
You and your partner’s health and nutrition in the months leading up to pregnancy play a key role in your baby’s development and future health.
The time spent preparing to conceive provides a unique window of opportunity to make healthy long-lasting changes to your diet and lifestyle.
It is never too late to optimise your weight, in fact, entering pregnancy at a healthy weight benefits you, your baby and your baby’s babies. In many cases, even a small 5-10% weight loss (or gain if you are underweight) can increase your chances of successfully conceiving. You and your partner’s diet and lifestyle has an enormous effect on the quality and quantity of eggs and sperm you produce (baby’s DNA building blocks), as well as the health of your uterine lining and uterus (baby’s implantation platform and home for the next 9 months of pregnancy).
Having an expert dietitian who is trained to analyse and optimise your diet specifically for conception, and who is experienced in treating a range of fertility related complications can significantly increase your chance of successfully conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy and baby.
