Nutrition is one of the most important aspects of the growth of your baby and your ability to support them. The early stage of pregnancy is crucial for setting yourself and your baby up for success, especially since these weeks are when your baby’s critical systems are forming. Eating well can be extremely difficult, however, because of symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and food aversions. At Materna, we can offer the compassionate support and medical care you need to ensure you and your baby have the nutrients you need.

Supplement Support
Supplements can be invaluable in helping you get the nutrients you need in the right dosages. It can be difficult to know where to start, though. We can take a complete look at your diet and eating habits to recommend where you can supplement nutrients and in what amounts. We understand it can also be challenging to take supplements when you’re dealing with nausea and vomiting, and we can help you explore alternatives.

IV Therapy
IV therapy is an alternative to supplements that can be ideal for women struggling with severe nausea or hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). We can administer vitamins and minerals right into the bloodstream, avoiding the possibility of triggering nausea and vomiting. We can also provide fluids if you’re struggling with dehydration as a result of HG.

Nutritional Counseling
Especially when dealing with morning sickness or HG, it can be difficult to eat the right foods. Our OB/GYN providers can help you develop a diet and nutrition plan that incorporates foods that you can tolerate and gets your baby the nutrients they need to grow and thrive.
The Importance of Nutrition in Early Pregnancy
Your baby’s brain, spinal cord, and other major organs begin developing right away in early pregnancy, even before you start showing. Good nutrition is essential at this stage, and it’s important to get sufficient levels of iron, vitamin B, folate, and protein to support your baby’s growth. On the other hand, nutrient deficiencies can result in serious complications and defects for your baby, as well as health concerns for you.
We understand how challenging it can be to eat enough nutrients during early pregnancy, especially when grappling with the effects of nausea and vomiting or even severe conditions like hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). If you feel unsupported in these challenges, you’re not alone – many women feel the same way about early pregnancy. That’s where we seek to help.
