TRIMESTER ZERO PART 5 // your preconception period is the best time to create healthy habits and build reserve for first trimester. TRIMESTER ZERO PART 5 // your preconception period is the best time to create healthy habits and build reserve for first trimester. Most women experience morning sickness in first trimester and cannot eat much so trimester zero deserves more recognition in my opinion 💁🏻‍♀️

But trimester zero is not just about what you eat. It’s also about your lifestyle, bloodwork and supplements 💊

Want to learn more about how nutrition, blood tests and lifestyle changes can optimise your fertility?

I have recorded a 45 min masterclass which will give you a holistic approach to fertility and a help you learn how you can maximise your chances of conception 🤰

Send me a DM with the word FERTILITY if you want the link 🔗

TRIMESTER ZERO PART 4 // I’ve seen some people question trimester zero because it wasn’t a thing in the past but there are so many reasons for this! One reason is age - people used to have children much earlier in life compared to now. It’s common for people to try for pregnancy later in life as they pursue higher education and career.

Another reason is our environment. There are way more processed foods in the supermarket. Our diet has changed. Plus we are exposed to more endocrine disruptors in things like pesticides and household cleaning products. All of these factors affect our fertility.

Lastly, we have more research available to us now. There is way more research on fertility nutrition compared to a few decades ago.

Stay tuned for the last part ✌️

TRIMESTER ZERO PART 3 // a lot of people are overwhelmed by supplements and think it’s better to take more 💊 when you’re trying to conceive. But the thing to remember is that more isn’t always better. Taking more supplements can lead to supplement stacking which can be detrimental so less is more.

Having said that, there are a few extra things I like to include in certain situations (such as IVF or over 35) to maximise your chances of falling pregnant 🤰

Any supplements you take while TTC, pregnant or breastfeeding should be tailored to you based on your unique situation (diet, lifestyle, medical condition, bloodwork etc). I don’t recommend microbiome testing or vaginal swabs at this point.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I offer a 30 min express consults if you’re looking for a tailored supplement plan 💊

TRIMESTER ZERO PART TWO // I do think it’s possible to make positive changes and prepare for pregnancy without feeling like you’re in a pressure cooker. But this can only happen if you get support from the right people 🤝 a fertility and prenatal dietitian can help!

Part 3 coming soon x

TRIMESTER ZERO PART 1 // the main reason thing to note here is that not every health professional will not have the same point of view. Everyone has their own perceptions of how much something will benefit and prioritise differently.

For example, if you were to talk to a fertility dietitian or nutritionist, they would say that diet and lifestyle play an important role because of their nutrition background. It’s only natural for us to see the benefit of nutrition compared to other health professionals who work in the fertility pregnancy space.

Part two coming tomorrow x
