Healthy eating when you are pregnant is important—a nourishing diet (plus a supplement that contains folic acid and iodine) is essential for good health for you and your growing baby.
Early in pregnancy, the quality of your diet can influence how your baby's organs develop. Later in pregnancy, your diet influences baby's growth and brain development.
The information in these webpages will hopefully inspire and motivate you to eat well during your pregnancy, but sometimes balancing things like weight gain, food preferences, and nutritional needs can be a juggle. Mater Mothers’ Hospitals has dietitians available to talk to if you would like more information or help with your diet during this time.
