How to Make Your Pregnancy Happier and Healthier

Congratulations! A positive pregnancy test is a fantastic, life-changing event. The first three months of pregnancy, in particular, are wonderfully exciting. And the next six months can be too.

Once you’ve come to terms with the news and decided who to tell and when, your mind will, inevitably, turn towards planning ahead. You’ll have any number of questions, even a few anxieties, especially if this is your first time.

But don’t worry! From the moment you get a positive result our experienced team is here to help.

Make the Most of Your Body’s Natural Potential

We know so much now about life in the womb and the factors that can influence a mother’s health and happiness during pregnancy. And research has shown us the things that can be done to help your baby’s growth and brainpower too, and even his or her long term health and well-being.

What you eat, what you drink, and how relaxed and fit you are, emotionally as well as physically, all have an important role to play, as does the vitality, or otherwise, of the various systems in your body.

The human body has remarkable natural powers, especially when it comes to reproduction, and our team of midwives, doctors, nutritionists, fitness coaches and complementary therapists are all here to help you make the most of their potential. You might be surprised at how much of an advantage this can bring.

Your First Step?

For clients who have just found out they are pregnant and who are new to the Clinic, we usually recommend that you start with an "Early Pregnancy Health Check & Planning Consultation" with one of our consultant midwives.

As most GPs don’t see women until after the 12th week of pregnancy, you’ll probably have lots of questions, which we will be more than happy to answer. We’ll also use the session to help you map out a plan for the months ahead, with particular emphasis on the most important do’s and don’ts, as well as various tips on how to keep you and your baby in the best of shape through the first trimester. More details of the areas covered can be found by clicking on “Early Pregnancy Health Check & Planning Consultation” from the menu on the left hand side of this page.

You might like to consider booking one of our terrific "Nutrition for Pregnancy" consultations at the same time. Research shows how critical a good diet can be to the optimal development of your baby, as well as your own health and happiness during your pregnancy, and we would very much recommend you get the help and advice of a specialist if you are able. More information can be found by clicking on "The Importance of Good Nutrition for Pregnancy" from the menu bar on the left hand side of this page.

Personalised Pregnancy Support & Coaching – Use Us as Much or as Little as You Want

How much or how little you choose to use our pregnancy programme is, of course, entirely up to you. As is when you start. Some women see us from the very beginning of their pregnancy, some start half-way through, some only come for help in sorting out common ailments, while others just come for our wonderful "Ante-natal & Birth Preparation" classes.

You can simply pick and choose the support you need. Or, if you prefer, we can tailor-make a continuous programme of support for you instead. Just tell us what you’d like and we’ll make it happen. Whatever you choose, we believe you will be investing in the best of starts for you and your baby.

Please see the menu on the left hand side of this page for a full list of the services we offer and a description of the help they can give.
