Pregnancy Nutrition
Hi mumma, congratulations on your pregnancy!
This is such an exciting and transformative time in your life, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Growing a human is nothing short of miraculous, but we know it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, stressful, and — let’s be honest — hard AF sometimes.
Maybe the road to get here hasn’t been easy, and while you’re grateful and excited, you’re also managing the endless(!) changes happening to your body.
With so much conflicting advice on what to eat, how to support your changing body, and what to do about potential complications, it’s completely normal to feel unsure or anxious.
Whether you're working to manage or reduce your risk of gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia, or simply looking for someone to take the guesswork out of pregnancy nutrition, we’re here to make things easier for you.
Pregnancy is a journey that deserves the right kind of nourishment.
Why pregnancy nutrition matters
Optimal nutrition is your secret weapon for a healthy pregnancy.
At Nutrition by Jess, we’re here to ensure you get the key nutrients you need to thrive, not just survive…
So you can enjoy a healthy and vibrant pregnancy and prepare for labour and a smooth postpartum recovery.
As your body works its magic throughout each trimester, the nutrient and energy requirements change to support both you and your growing baby. As you navigate the incredible changes to your body and prepare for this next stage of life, let us take the stress out of figuring out what to eat, so you can focus on the growing list of other priorities!
“Jessie was a dream to work with. I was concerned about having gestational diabetes with my second child. Jess gave me fantastic information and recommendations on how to reduce my chances of this happening. With her care and expertise I was GD free. She also went above and beyond my expectations, making sure I was supplementing my body correctly and writing me a plan that was simple to follow and execute.
Anyone looking for any women’s health care should work with Jess for her compassionate care and excellent knowledge of women’s health and how nutrition plays an integral part.”

“I found Jess 3 months into my pregnancy and I was feeling very fatigued. Jess analysed my diet and lifestyle, and gave me some tips and guidance to help support for the rest of my pregnancy, I am so grateful for her help. I still see Jess regularly postpartum to keep me on track.”
