DURING PREGNANCY

You are now pregnant. Congratulations! Pregnancy can be a wonderful and blissful event but it can also be increasingly overwhelming, especially the first time around. How can you sort through the colossal amount of advice you have received or read (whether solicited or not)? How to make the best choices for you and your baby? Who can you trust?

It doesn’t help that many of the prenatal sources of information are currently conflicting or outdated. We are never as at-risk as we are during periods of growth, especially growth in the womb. During this window of vulnerability, DNA programming and rapid development occurs, so disruptions and deficiencies during this process may cause lasting harm.This formative period sets the foundation for pregnancy outcomes and the overall well-being of your unborn child.

In addition to having a healthcare provider that should be a valuable source and support to you throughout your pregnancy , The Womb Effect provides scientific research and breakthroughs for you to have a thriving pregnancy , improve your pregnancy outcome and optimise the health of your developing baby.
