So you have finally made it, and now you need to look after yourself and your precious baby. The minefield of what to eat, not to eat, how to cope with nausea and tiredness, should you take vitamins or not, how to manage any other medications you’re on and what really is the best food to eat for the baby, accompanied by first trimester anxiety, especially after fertility treatment, can just finish you off!

I will talk you through everything you need to know; all the dos and don’ts, the right vitamins, evidence based and plain common sense; I’ve been there myself and sometimes you can feel very overwhelmed. My initial pregnancy consultation will give you a plan with everything you need to know, all your dos and dont’s. Then I offer a fifteen minute catch-up at 14 and 26 weeks, just to ensure you are on track with each trimester. At 37 weeks we have another full consultation that covers labour or C-section, post natal and breast feeding, should you choose to do this, up to weaning.

“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping bring our daughter into the world and changing ours. As well as helping us realise our dream you are so knowledgable about so much and go above and beyond in terms of support and providing information. It feels so good giving her the extra probiotics and vitamin d, which we wouldn’t have thought of without you. On top of the practical stuff you are an absolute joy, of course! We feel very lucky to been able to work with you on what was thankfully, the final part of our journey.”
