Fertility - Prenatal and Postnatal Support
Congratulations! Now that you are pregnant, there are probably a hundred things on your mind – Who will be your healthcare provider? What supplements should I be taking? What tests do I need to be prepared for?
It is unfortunate that in today’s system, pregnancy is often treated as a medical condition and many women are left feeling unsupported. Vive Health’s Prenatal and Postnatal Program aims to change that perception and provides the support needed to have you feel empowered through your pregnancy. Under the guidance of your Naturopathic Doctor, the program walks you through all the different stages of pregnancy and provides detailed, clinically relevant, evidence-based information to support you and your growing baby.
Various topics in the program include:
- Choosing your healthcare provider
- Pregnancy nutrition
- Nutritional supplementation
- Exercise
- Conventional testing
- Common health conditions
- Creating a healthy environment
- Breastfeeding
- Pelvic floor care
- Labour and delivery preparation
- Post-natal recovery and care
The visits with your Naturopathic Doctor are scheduled monthly to bimonthly and include a thorough discussion of your current health state, treatment recommendations, and handouts specific to the topics of discussion. Whether this is your first pregnancy or your third, you should have the right information to see you through your pregnancy in the healthiest way possible.
