What is preconception care and how will it benefit my baby?

​

If you are planning to conceive, you can give your baby the best possible start in life with preconception care. 



The preconception period is an important window of opportunity to ensure you have all of the nutrients required to firstly conceive, then nourish your growing baby, and finally to deliver the healthiest baby possible. 

 

Preconception care should ideally begin at least 3 months prior to trying to conceive, allowing adequate preparation time for both parents to achieve optimal health.



A preconception program can:



•  reduce the risk of your baby developing congenital defects such as Spina Bifida

•  support your baby’s brain and nervous system development

•  decrease the chances of your baby developing health conditions such as eczema, allergies, hay fever and asthma

I can create a preconception nutrition plan for you and your partner that encourages healthy egg and sperm production so you can be proactive in looking after your baby's health.



My partner and I are experiencing difficulty conceiving ...

 

If you or your partner have been diagnosed with specific fertility problems/have been told you have unexplained infertility/or have experienced difficulties such as recurrent miscarriages, I can help you to increase your chances of conceiving by maximising your fertility.



I use World Health Organisation recommended saliva hormone testing as well as VLA testing to find and treat any underlying health conditions that may be impacting on your and your partner's fertility.



I can further maximise your fertility by teaching you how to chart your menstrual cycle to pinpoint your most fertile days, helping you to conceive in the quickest amount of time possible with minimal stress.



We are undergoing IVF treatment, can naturopathy help to improve our success rate?



If you and your partner are undergoing IVF or another assisted reproductive technology program, I can use naturopathic principles to help to improve your success rate.  I have undergone extensive training in how to safely use naturopathic principles in conjunction with your assisted reproductive technology program. 

 

Karen's success story:

 

“I first saw Tara after having irregular cycles and trying to conceive for about 9 months after coming off the pill. She didn’t give me any false hopes or promises of a ‘miracle cure’ but was confident she could help me get my cycle back on track within 3 months. I followed the advice, supplements and diet changes Tara recommended – and had 2 normal cycles over 2 months. In the 3rd month I fell pregnant!”​

Jodie's success story:



"After failed IVF, my weight going up and down due to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and not having a period for up to 4 months at a time, a girlfriend recommended Tara's services to me.  Whilst my partner and I wanted children, getting myself healthy and my menstrual cycle regulated was our first priority.  After 4 weeks of being on Tara's health plan, I went to my doctor to have an ultrasound to check my ovaries for cysts.  Well, there were no cysts, but there was something - my little man!!  After many attempts to have a baby and no luck, 4 weeks on Tara's health plan, and BAM!  We were expecting a baby!!!  Needless to say, Tara will be the first person I come to for baby #2.  No clinics and medical interference for this mumma again!"
