You’ve probably heard it before… The well-meaning aunt telling you to “enjoy your pregnancy cos it’s the only time you can eat whatever you want…”… “You’re eating for two now…go on, have another”…

This idea comes straight from our extremely weight-centric society…where people feel a sudden ‘freedom’ to eat whatever they want when they’re pregnant because they’re ‘going to get fat anyway’…

As sad as this is, we’re not here to go into the nitty gritty on our materialistic obsession with weight…We want to focus on this notion that you can ‘eat anything you want’ while pregnant (except for the obviously banned foods, like soft cheese and cold meats).

Does what you eat in pregnancy matter?

YES IT ABSOLUTELY DOES!!!

Your diet during pregnancy has been shown to impact YOUR health, the health of your foetus, AND the future health of your baby? It can also influence your chances of developing pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes and the likelihood you’ll need an intervention in labour…

Your diet does this in numerous ways, one of which is known as ‘epigenetics’.

Epigenetics is the science if how your environment and behaviours can cause changes that affect how your genes work…including your diet…

So, essentially, what you eat during pregnancy may switch certain genes ‘on or ‘off’… These ‘switches’ may determine whether your baby will experience disease, and which disease it could be…

If all this is sounding a bit complicated, why not head to our free online course, which gives more detail about epigenetics and the impact of your diet on the health of your baby. In particular, check out module 5 of our online course (currently free!). We discuss HOW what you eat can impact your baby, and WHAT to include in your diet to give your baby the best chance of a healthy start to life.
