Nutritional Counseling > Pregnancy & Infertility

Emma has lived with an eating disorder and depression since her early teens. Now 28 and pregnant she's afraid of putting on weight, but scared that if she doesn't her child will suffer. After she finished our 6 week support group for pregnant women her OB/GYN encouraged her to seek more individual counseling to ensure the most positive outcome possible. Being pregnant was a stress on her due to the eating disorder, but the pregnancy and birth of her child would give her the opportunity to change her own relationship to food and how to eat healthy and be at ease with her own body.

Excess weight on either partner can result in difficulty conceiving a child or maintaining a pregnancy. Poor nutrition can harm both mother and baby even among women who are not overweight. Good nutrition is important for both partners and can help not only in attaining pregnancy but also having the healthiest mother and baby possible.  

Excess weight and poor eating habits during pregnancy can be harmful to both the mother and baby because it puts both at increased risk for complications before and after birth.  

Following a set eating and exercise plan while pregnant is one of the best ways to gradually gain the proper amount of weight in the healthiest way possible and to shed the baby weight after pregnancy.

Being pregnant should be a wonderful time in the life of every mother-to-be. MinDshape's expert staff will help you meet the nutritional needs of you and your baby through all phases of your pregnancy so that you can enjoy this experience knowing that you are doing all that you can for your baby and yourself.
