Frequently Asked Questions

What is pre-conception nutrition, and why is it important?

Pre-conception nutrition refers to the dietary and lifestyle choices made before pregnancy with the goal of optimising health for both the mother and the future baby. It is important because it can significantly impact fertility, the health of the mother during pregnancy, and the long-term health outcomes of the child.

A balanced and nutritious diet before conception can help ensure that the mother’s body is in optimal condition for pregnancy. It can also help regulate hormones, support healthy ovulation, and improve the quality of eggs and sperm, all of which are crucial for successful conception.

Additionally, pre-conception nutrition can help reduce the risk of pregnancy complications, such as pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes, and promote the healthy development of the baby’s organs and tissues. Research has shown that certain nutrients, such as folic acid, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids, are particularly important during the pre-conception period for reducing the risk of birth defects and supporting healthy foetal development.

Overall, focusing on pre-conception nutrition is an important step in preparing for a healthy pregnancy and giving the baby the best possible start in life.

It’s generally recommended to start focusing on your diet and overall health several months before trying to conceive. This allows time to make any necessary dietary and lifestyle changes, as well as to ensure that your body is in the best possible condition for pregnancy.

For women, this preparation period can help ensure that you are getting all the necessary nutrients for a healthy pregnancy, such as folic acid, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids. For men, it can help improve sperm quality and motility, which are important factors in conception.

Starting to focus on your diet and health early also gives you time to address any underlying health issues that could affect your ability to conceive or have a healthy pregnancy, such as obesity, diabetes, or thyroid disorders.

Overall, the earlier you start focusing on your diet and health before trying to conceive, the better chance you have of optimising your fertility and having a healthy pregnancy.

Yes, pre-conception nutrition can play a significant role in managing certain medical conditions that affect fertility. Many medical conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and thyroid disorders, can impact fertility by affecting hormone levels, ovulation, and overall reproductive health.

A healthy diet and lifestyle can help manage these conditions and improve fertility. For example, in PCOS, a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help regulate insulin levels and promote regular ovulation. Similarly, for endometriosis, an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce inflammation and improve fertility.

It’s important to work with a healthcare provider or a dietitian who specialises in fertility to create a personalised nutrition plan tailored to your specific medical condition and needs. They can help you identify foods and nutrients that may be beneficial and provide guidance on lifestyle changes that can support your fertility journey.
