Healthy pregnancy

Gaining weight during pregnancy is a natural and healthy occurrence. However, limiting the amount of excess weight gain will improve your health and that of your baby’s, both now and in the future. It can also help to reduce the risk of complications during your pregnancy and birth.

Eating a healthy balanced diet and exercising within the guidelines for pregnancy will help you.

The programme consists of 6 structured one-to-one telephone or video call appointments throughout your pregnancy.
