Pregnancy Dietitian in Noida

Nutrition during pregnancy

Pregnancy increases the need for protein, iron, calcium, folate and several other nutrients, while the need for extra calories is modest. Eating for two does not mean eating double. What matters is the quality of food and regular meals.

Many women also need help with nausea in the early months, acidity and constipation later, or with weight that is rising too fast or too slowly. Your gynaecologist manages your pregnancy and prescribes any supplements you need. The diet plan follows your doctor's advice and does not replace it.

How the pregnancy diet plan helps

• Trimester wise guidance: the plan changes with each stage of pregnancy and with your appetite and comfort.
• Balanced meals: whole grains, pulses, milk and curd, vegetables, fruits, nuts and other protein foods in the right amounts.
• Healthy weight gain: you are guided to gain weight within the range advised by your doctor.
• Common discomforts: practical food tips for nausea, acidity and constipation.
• Gestational diabetes: if your sugar is high in pregnancy, meals are planned to keep sugar in control without compromising nutrition.
• After delivery: a plan for recovery and breastfeeding, and for returning to a healthy weight gradually.

How the diet planning process works

1. Evaluate your health status: Your weight, height, age, medical history and current reports are reviewed first.
2. Dietary habit analysis and counselling: We discuss your daily routine, food preferences, working hours and eating pattern.
3. Customized meal plan: You get a plan built around home-made food that fits your routine and your family kitchen.
4. Guidance on portion control: You learn how much to eat, not only what to eat, so the habit stays after the program.
5. Fortnightly follow up and review: Your progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted to keep you moving.
6. Ongoing support: You can reach out with questions, and you are guided on how to maintain the result.
