Diet, Nutrition, and Weight Management

It is essential to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet during preconception and throughout the duration of a pregnancy. Your body will require additional nutrients during this time period, and it’s important to take care to properly nourish both you and your baby.

It is also important to maintain a healthy bodyweight before and during your pregnancy. Being overweight or underweight has the potential to affect normal ovulation, reduce the chance of getting pregnant, and increase the risks of pregnancy complications.
