Healthy Pregnancies Create Healthy Babies
Symptoms during pregnancy can be a sign of many different nutritional deficiencies, which impact your babies growth. Supporting you helps you function and feel better, along with helping your baby reach their full developmental potential in utero.
Looking after you while you are growing a baby is the most important factor in growing a healthy and happy baby. Understanding fetal development provides a framework and optimal plan to best support your developing and growing baby.
