This programme is suitable for both women hoping to conceive or for those already pregnant. Fertility and a healthy pregnancy for both mother and baby are greatly improved by achieving a healthy weight and eating a balanced diet before and during pregnancy.
Avoiding excess weight gain during the pregnancy can be challenging. We can aim for a safe and minimal weight gain to ensure optimal health benefits for both the mother and the unborn.
