Several areas we will address together in your journey will include:

• Optimal Maternal Nutrition: The food you eat during pregnancy is essential for your baby’s growth and development. A balanced diet rich in nutrients such as folic acid, iron, and calcium can help reduce the risk of birth defects and promote healthy fetal growth. 
• Limiting harmful chemical exposures: Certain chemicals can be passed onto your baby during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Exposure to these chemicals can have negative consequences for fetal growth and development, as well as long-term health outcomes.
• Prenatal healthy exercise program: Exercise is beneficial for both you and your baby. It can help reduce the risk of gestational diabetes, improve circulation, and manage weight gain. But what exercise is best, how much and what type depending on where you are in your pregnancy? We will make a plan together
• Stress management: Pregnancy can be stressful and knowing what are some safe and effective ways that can help you navigate this new chapter in your life is important. I will make sure you have the tools that are safe and effective for you as well as help you put in place the supports you will need when baby comes.
• Pre- existing Health Conditions: If you have any pre-existing health conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders or high blood pressure there are steps that I, along with your medical team can discuss to help prevent any increased risk of complications that these may bring during pregnancy.

• Addressing Your Concerns Early:  It’s important to take a proactive approach when it comes to your reproductive health. It’s okay to have a lot of questions, but it’s also important to have them answered by the right people that you can trust. There’s a lot of online “info” out there, which is overwhelming. Let’s get you some real answers.
• Optimizing your success: It’s important to consider proper lifestyle changes such as exercise, stress management, and diet as well as the multitude of supplements and nutraceuticals that exist and claim to help improve your chances of getting pregnant. Which ones actually have research to show they can help, which patients would benefit from which ones, timing, dosing etc are not things you should be trying to figure out on your own on with Dr. Google. Let me help you know you are giving yourself the best chance of success.
• Helping you decided the who, what, where and when of Fertility Clinics: There are many options out there and knowing what factors to consider when finding the right provider for you is essential to make this already hard journey a bit easier. When is it time to seek out a second opinion or switch to a new team entirely? I will help you navigate this.
• Dig a little deeper: Unexplained infertility is the most frustrating “non-diagnoses” to get when you have been struggling to get pregnant. It is not unexplained….it needs further investigation. While IVF can overcome some of the factors that may contribute to unexplained infertility, it doesn’t overcome them all and with the price tag of IVF you want to know that it is really what you need and that you have done everything possible to ensure your best chances of success. I will help you figure out where to look next.
