Assistance For Preconception And Fertility
Some health conditions can affect your ability to conceive, or to successfully sustain a pregnancy to full term.
Some medical conditions require different amounts of folic acid, and other key prenatal nutrients, and a reproductive nutrition specialist can implement an individualised plan for you
The preconception period is the period that precedes conception. It is recommended that women and men focus on improving their health and chances of conception a MINIMUM of 3 months prior to conceiving.
Boost Your Chances Of Conception
Improvements to sperm and egg quality can take effect from 75-90 days prior to conception. Couples who are healthy prior to conception and at the time of conception, are more likely to have a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby.
50% of all pregnancies are unplanned, and those pregnancies that are unplanned are at an increased risk of neural tube defects, birth defects, preterm birth and low birth weight babies. By taking action 3 to 6 months prior to conception, you are able to improve your health and the health of your baby.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some thing that might affect fertility?
There are many lifestyle, and environmental factors that can impact your fertility, and the health of your unborn baby. Seeing a dietitian is crucial to ensuring your baby’s future health. A dietitian can guide you through how to manage the preconception period, and what is right for you. Fertility dietitians will look at your medical and obstetric history to make decisions around tailored advice and/or supplementation. Behaviours such as smoking, alcohol intake and caffeine intake directly impact your ability to conceive. Smoking reduces a woman’s ovarian reserve, and increases time to conceive (2). Nutrition can play a role in egg maturation, quality of embryos and successful implantation (2).
Will my diet affect my future children’s chance of allergy?
It is recommended that you enjoy a wide variety of foods during your pregnancy and this includes regularly consuming common allergens during pregnancy (unless you are allergic to a food – then do not consume this). It is important to consume common allergens such as nuts (peanuts, walnuts and cashews), some fish (shellfish – make sure it is well cooked to avoid listeria risk) dairy products (milk and eggs), soy and wheat.
This will expose your growing baby to these things, and hopefully reduce the risk of allergy.
How does consultation work when seeing a pregnancy dietitian?
Prior to your first consultation, you will need to complete a new patient form prior to seeing the dietitian. This will be sent to you or completed in clinic.
If you have any recent results from your doctor, feel free to bring them along! Otherwise, you don’t need to bring anything – just yourself!
After the consultation, we will schedule a follow up appointment, but if you have any questions or concerns between appointments, your dietitian will be available to answer your questions via email or phone call.
Why is it important to see a fertility dietitian?
A qualified prenatal and fertility dietitian is equipped with the science and the knowledge, around latest brands, and formulations to help you to choose the right prenatal supplement, and of course guide your day to day nutritional intake to ensure your dreams of a baby come true.
When going through the emotional rollercoaster of trying to conceive naturally or with assistance, having a healthcare team around you that is ready to support you, and to continue to explore different options can make the experience much easier. A key member of that team should include an expert fertility dietitian.
