Pregnancy nutrition FAQs
Common questions before getting started. For questions about diagnosis, medication or test results, please also speak with your doctor.
6 questions · select a question to see the answer
I have severe nausea in early pregnancy. What can help with eating?
Small, frequent meals and foods you can tolerate are often easier, and we will suggest options that suit you. If you cannot keep fluids down, are losing weight or have signs of dehydration, contact your doctor, midwife or hospital promptly.
How should I plan meals with gestational diabetes?
Carbohydrates usually are not cut out. They are spread across meals and snacks in suitable amounts. We help you plan meals, including rice and other staples, around the blood glucose targets and any medication set by your diabetes or antenatal team.
Which foods should I avoid in pregnancy?
Australian advice includes avoiding foods with a higher listeria risk (such as soft cheeses unless cooked, cold deli meats and chicken, pâté, pre-prepared salads, ready-to-eat sushi from shops, raw or smoked seafood and unpasteurised dairy), avoiding alcohol and raw egg, limiting fish that can be high in mercury, and keeping caffeine moderate. We will go through what this means for the foods you usually eat, and your midwife or doctor can advise on your situation.
Is a vegetarian diet okay during pregnancy?
A well-planned vegetarian diet can meet your needs, but nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12, iodine, zinc and protein need attention. We review your intake and suggest practical ways to cover them.
Does an IVF pregnancy, twins or being older need a different approach?
These situations can change your needs and the advice from your antenatal team. We tailor your plan to your circumstances and their recommendations.
Can I get a refund or pause my program?
Yes. If you are unable to continue because of your health, work, family or other personal reasons, you can contact us at any time to end your program early. Fees for services already provided as agreed are not refundable. We will calculate and refund the remaining unused service fees based on the agreed package price and our service records, less a cancellation processing fee of no more than 15% of the unused amount. The initial nutrition assessment is always free, whether or not you continue with the service or request a refund.
If we cannot provide the agreed services or our services do not meet the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law, we will provide a remedy, refund or other statutory remedy as required by law, and the cancellation processing fee will not apply. Your statutory consumer rights, including applicable cooling-off rights, are not limited.
To pause, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance in normal circumstances; sudden illness, hospitalisation and other emergencies are handled flexibly. Once your pause is confirmed, the paused period does not count towards your used service working days and your remaining service working days are carried forward. See our refund and suspension policy.
