In this post, I’m explaining the importance of what I consider are 4 absolutely top nutrients for early pregnancy: folate, iodine, vitamin B12, and choline.

For each nutrient, I’ll explain why it matters, how much you need, and the best food sources to focus on. This is essential reading for early pregnancy!

In this blog, we are going to discuss some nutrition tips that may help to reduce the risk of miscarriage. We will focus on foods, food groups and nutrients that have been associated with a lowered risk of pregnancy loss. Before we dive in though, it’s really important to highlight that what you ate (or what you didn’t eat) before or during your previous pregnancy did not cause your loss. Infertility and/or loss are not your fault.

The ‘first 1000 days’ are a critical growth and development period - we can even influence how our genes are expressed! It is important to consume the right nutrients during this time to optimise our health for life.
