This week Marianne Eldridge, PSS Helpline & Support Manager, is joined by Sophie Mumby aka The Pregnancy Nutritionist. Sophie is a Registered Dietitian based in Nottingham, UK.

Her post-graduate qualifications in eating disorders have allowed her to work with people with mental health difficulties and eating disorders in the NHS for nearly 10 years and has been running her private practice alongside this for the past 5 years.

Two years ago, whilst pregnant with her son, she developed hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). After several trips to the hospital and a diet consisting of noodles and crisps, she started to research the effects of maternal diet on both the mother and infant.

Even as a dietitian she wasn’t aware of just how big an impact diet had on health and symptom management and couldn’t understand why it wasn’t being talked about more!

In this episode, Marianne and Sophie explore the difficulties of nutrition and HG, how supplementing with vitamins could be the answer, and share tips on how all women who struggle with pregnancy sickness can try to take back some control of their dietary needs when pregnant.

A must-listen if you want advice on vitamins, possible food choices whilst feeling nauseous and/or sick and general advice on eating when pregnant.
