For this episode I am joined by a good friend who happens to be the greatest nutritional expert I've ever known, and I just love her for her no frills approach - she says it like it is, Dr Orla Walsh. Orla is a dietician, she's also a mum herself and for this episode we are talking all things nutrition and pregnancy. So what can you eat, what can't you eat? How to cope with symptoms such as heartburn? Or constipation? What do you need to ensure you're getting enough of in your diet? What about supplementation? Water intake?
This episode is proudly sponsored by Pregnacare which is the supplement I have been taking since day one. I've been on Pregnacare Max which offers the ultimate formula in the range for mums-to-be who want the maximum nutritional support from Pregnacare. This advanced formula helps to safeguard daily intake of nutrients important during pregnancy, providing 400micrograms folic acid, incorporating the special, readily bioavailable form L-Methylfolate, together with other essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, Calcium & Omega 3. Vitabiotics pregnacare also have a new exciting gummy form with 17 nutrients which are handy as an alternative to tablets for those who may have difficulty in swallowing tablets or simply prefer a chewable format available in pharmacies nationwide in-store and online.
It's incredibly important to ensure you're getting the right vitamins and minerals throughout your pregnancy not just for the baby but also for you. Be sure to follow me on instagram @CarolineForan where I will be giving one lucky listener of this series the chance to win the ultimate Pregnacare hamper.
