Women’s nutritional needs evolve across life stages, influenced by hormonal changes, reproductive health, and metabolic demands. Nutrition care plays a critical role in supporting fertility, pregnancy outcomes, maternal health, and long-term disease prevention. The Dietetics & Nutrition Department provides specialized nutrition support for women before, during, and after pregnancy.

Pre-conception nutrition focuses on optimizing nutritional status prior to pregnancy, supporting hormonal balance, healthy body weight, and micronutrient adequacy to improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

Pregnancy nutrition supports increased energy and nutrient demands while promoting healthy fetal growth and maternal well-being. Nutrition care emphasizes balanced intake, digestive tolerance, and prevention of pregnancy-related complications.

Gestational weight management is essential to reduce risks associated with excessive or inadequate weight gain during pregnancy. Nutrition strategies focus on appropriate caloric intake, nutrient density, and sustainable eating habits.

Anemia and micronutrient deficiencies are common during reproductive years and pregnancy. Nutrition care aims to improve dietary intake of essential nutrients and support long-term maternal health.

Lactation and breastfeeding nutrition supports milk production, maternal recovery, and infant nutrition. Dietitians provide guidance to ensure adequate energy intake, hydration, and nutrient balance during breastfeeding.

Women’s nutrition care emphasizes long-term health, maternal recovery, and preventive wellness across all reproductive stages.
