underweight or insufficient weight gain during pregnancy
Being underweight at the start of your pregnancy, gaining insufficient weight, or having nutritional deficiencies are valid reasons to seek advice from a dietitian. Aileen is trained to guide you through this period and possesses extensive experience and knowledge regarding malnutrition and being underweight. This enables her to provide practical, actionable tips. If standard nutrition proves insufficient, Aileen can also arrange for special medical nutrition for you.
High starting weight or (excessive) weight gain
You may be overweight at the start of your pregnancy (with a BMI of 25 or higher). In that case, it is recommended to limit weight gain. However, it remains important to ensure you get enough nutrients and minerals. Limiting weight gain helps promote the health of both you and your baby and reduces the risk of complications during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Alternatively, you might have gained a lot of weight during a previous pregnancy and wish to limit it this time, but aren't sure how to go about it. Dietetic practice Aileen de Vogel is happy to help.
Iron deficiency or low hemoglobin
A blood test might reveal that you have a low hemoglobin (iron) level. If the level is very low, your doctor will prescribe medication. If the level is slightly low or dropping, consuming extra iron can help prevent it from falling further. Common advice includes drinking orange juice with your bread; the vitamin C in the juice improves the absorption of the plant-based iron found in the bread. While this is true, the advice isn't always ideal due to the juice's sugar content or its impact on weight. Fortunately, there are other, much healthier combinations available. You will receive advice and tips tailored to your specific situation.
Other ailments and medical conditions
There can be many other factors at play during pregnancy. These might include (extreme) nausea, constipation, the risk of gestational diabetes, cardiovascular issues, cholesterol levels, intolerances, or general questions. Aileen can assist you with these matters as well, helping you move towards a healthier lifestyle that suits your needs.
