Pregnancy is so different for everyone. Wherever you are, let’s help you manage.
Pregnancy is a time of huge change, and knowing how to eat well can make the experience so much easier. A dietitian helps you feel confident in your choices—supporting energy levels, healthy weight gain, and your baby’s development. If you’re managing gestational diabetes or pregnancy symptoms, we create simple, balanced strategies that fit your life. And as you approach birth, we guide you on nutrition for labour, recovery and breastfeeding, so you feel supported every step of the way.
Pregnancy comes with a few distinct stages. So whether you’ve just seen those two pink lines, or you’re preparing for the transition of your bump to becoming a baby, let us help you.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational Diabetes is a condition in which a pregnant woman develops diabetes due to the changes in hormones during pregnancy. For many women, it can be managed with dietary changes alone, while others will need medication. Whether you’ve just been diagnosed, or have had gestational diabetes in the past, and want to take every step to prevent it this time, here at AKIN we offer support packages to help you navigate your hormones - an addition to your NHS care.
Early Pregnancy
No matter how long you’ve been trying or how much you want it, nothing quite prepares you for seeing those two pink lines, that positive test. We are here to help you navigate those early stages - considering food safety, taste aversions, pregnancy sickness and giving your body everything it needs t grow a healthy baby.
Pregnancy Support
If you have made it to the second trimester, but are suddenly feeling overwhelmed by the changes to your body and how to make the best choices, we are here to guide you. No matter how simple or compicated your pregnancy may be, getting your nutrition right and enjoying food can go a long way to helping you feel like you!
Birth Preparation
Nobody really knows what birth holds, but one thing you can do to prepare is understand your body’s needs. In such a dramatic event for your body, it would be a crime to overlook fuelling. Whatever your birth preferences, let’s make sense of your birth nutrition together
