When it comes to fertility and pregnancy, there can be overwhelming and conflicting information on the internet. We thought it would be helpful to chat to an accredited practising dietitian who has a specific interest in this area. Aleisha Deane is a dietitian in Newcastle, NSW and works with individuals and couples to improve their chances of falling pregnant with simple nutrition and lifestyle changes. Aleisha’s interest in this area came from her own experience trying to conceive and it being less straightforward than she had imagined.
In this episode we cover:🎙 the role of diet in fertility/conception🎙 optimising your diet to improve fertility🎙 what should be avoided when trying to conceive or while pregnant🎙 how to use diet to cope with common symptoms in pregnancy such as nausea, vomiting, and constipation🎙 plus aleisha answers a whole bunch of listener questions!

U3 pod was lucky enough to have Carinya join the show and share the journey she and her partner went through in starting a family. Carinya gives us insights into what it is actually like going through the motions of infertility – from trying to fall pregnant naturally, to the medical investigations required to work out why they weren’t having success, to the realisation they needed IVF + ICSI.
Carinya shares her experiences and knowledge around pregnancy, birth, IVF and parenting on her blog: www.thebirthingjourney.com
Please keep in mind that Carinya has generously told us her personal story. Starting a family is a unique journey, and we don’t expect Carinya’s experience to reflect that of everyone going through investigation and/or treatment of subfertility/infertility.
