Nutritional Pregnancy
A balanced, nutrient-rich diet is beneficial to most pregnant women, but as your body adjusts to growing a baby, your dietary requirements change.
Every expectant mother should receive advice that is not only safe and medically sound but also useful, empowering, and customised to meet her specific needs.
If you want peace of mind at any point about your baby's growth and development, you can book an early scan with your local Peek A Baby clinic today.
Why A Nutritional Pregnancy Matters
While being pregnant, the idea of ‘eating for two’ isn’t what it’s all about. It’s more about providing the essential vitamins, minerals and of course energy to support healthy growth and development for your baby, including organs, bones, brain, and the immune system. It’s also good to have healthy nutrition which supports your own wellbeing by maintaining energy levels, improving mood, and building strength and resilience.
By eating well, you can reduce the risk of pregnancy complications such as low birth weight, anaemia, nutrient deficiencies and excessive fatigue. Perhaps most importantly, a healthy diet during pregnancy gives your child a better start in life, with longer-term benefits that begin in the womb.
Knowing what to eat and when can be overwhelming due to the abundance of contradictory advice available. Our nutritional pregnancy support is intended to provide you with clarity, self-assurance, and a gentle framework so you can make well-informed decisions without worry or uncertainty.
How Peek A Baby Supports Your Nutritional Pregnancy
At Peek A Baby, we treat pregnancy nutrition as a personalised journey. We take the time to understand your circumstances, including your trimester, health history, and dietary preferences, so that we can make suggestions that are realistic, supportive guidelines that work in real life.
Healthy eating does not have to be complicated or time-consuming. We provide practical meal and snack suggestions that are realistic and affordable. These include ideas for easy-to-prepare breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks for days when you are tired, experiencing nausea, or on the go. We also provide guidance on hydration, as staying adequately hydrated supports nutrient absorption, digestion, and overall pregnancy health. Our suggestions are simple, achievable and designed to help you maintain balanced nutrition throughout your pregnancy.
We also help you manage common pregnancy symptoms through nutrition. Many women experience changes in appetite, nausea, cravings, or food aversions. The right nutritional guidance can help minimise nausea or morning sickness, reduce digestive discomfort, ease heartburn or constipation, maintain energy level and support balanced nutrition even when your appetite fluctuates.
Food safety is another important aspect or pregnancy nutrition. Some foods require caution during pregnancy, and we provide clear guidance on what to avoid or limit, including certain high-risk fish, undercooked foods and unpasteurised products. We also offer advice on safe food preparation and storage, and how to enjoy occasional treats while maintaining overall nutritional balance.

Your Next Steps For A Nutritional Pregnancy
When you book a pregnancy scan with Peek A Baby, this also provides you with confidence in seeking advice about nutrition in pregnancy, as well as seeking advice from your midwife.
During your scan appointment, we will assess your individual needs, listen to your concerns, and provide advice on a nutritional plan that works for you. Many expecting mums also like to combine nutritional support with one of our private pregnancy scan services, providing reassurance about your baby’s development alongside expert nutritional advice. Our Growth & Presentation Scan from 22 weeks is a great way of understanding how your baby is growing, and if there is anything you can do to support their development further in the later stages of pregnancy.
Why Seek Support & Scans With Us?
At Peek A Baby, we are about supporting every aspect of your pregnancy, not just through providing early pregnancy scans.

Most importantly, we are here to provide support, understanding and care because every pregnancy is unique and so is every mum.
If you are looking to find some reassurance about your baby's development throughout your pregnancy, we provide our Growth & Presentation Scan from 22 weeks.
