Pregnancy nutrition

The Australian Dietary Guidelines apply in pregnancy, with additional iodine and folic acid, extra iron and calcium, and slightly higher energy needs in later pregnancy. There is no single fertility diet; a broadly Mediterranean-style pattern with vegetables, wholegrains, legumes, fish and healthy fats is the most consistently supported approach.
