Information evening about nutrition
What is the best diet during your pregnancy?
During your pregnancy you are not allowed many foods, but what can you and what is best for your baby? You can’t start eating the right things early enough, so you can support the growth and development of your baby in the womb. In addition, you can also do a lot to minimize problems with ailments and to stay energetic. It is only important to know what you can do then.
It actually starts before you conceive
If you already eat healthy before conception and maintain a complete diet, where you have no deficiencies, you are one step ahead. You have created the ideal environment for your soon-to-be child, where he can nestle best. But what if you have not lived very healthy? What is the best thing to do then? Or what can you eat to promote your recovery after childbirth? Your first trimester, but also your third trimester can be tough because of the nausea and fatigue, then the healthy food sometimes misses out. How can you best deal with this? Which nutrients are best used in this phase? And which supplements do you need and why?
What kind of nutrition will you need during the rest of your pregnancy?

What kind of vitamines you need during your pregnancy?
During your pregnancy it is extra important to get enough iodine, calcium and fish fatty acids. These substances are mainly found in bread, dairy and fish. If you eat less bread, dairy or fish than recommended, it may be necessary to take extra supplements. If you don’t get enough iodine or calcium, or eat fish less than twice a week, try eating more bread, dairy and fish first. If this does not work, the advice is to supplement iodine, calcium and fish fatty acids, especially DHA, with a supplement. Choose a supplement especially for pregnant women, which does not contain too much vitamin A.
Iodine deficiency is almost non-existent in the Netherlands. This is because iodine is often added to baker’s salt and is therefore sufficiently present in bread. It is therefore often not necessary to take iodine tablets, unless you follow a special diet without carbohydrates, for example.
Always use during your pregnancy:
| What | When | How much? |
| Vitamine D | Throughout your pregnancy | 10 microgram a day |
| Folic Acid | From the moment you want to become pregnant, advice to start at least 3 months before conception | 400 microgram a day |
| If you don’t get enough through food | ||
| Zwangerschapsbox | Fish oil and multivitamin during meals and probiotics in the morning on an empty stomach | Multi vitamin 3 x 1 tablet per day. Probiotics 2 weeks to use. Then don’t take it for 2 weeks. Repeat if necessary. |
| If you do not eat enough of certain products: | ||
| Fish | Fish Oil | minimum of 250 mg a day |
| Bread | Iodine | minimum of 150 microgram a day |
| Diary | Calcium | minimum of 1 gram a day, maximum 2,5 gram a day |
| Premium Products | ||
| Orthica Orthiflor Fem | Probiotics can help restore and maintain a good balance of the intestinal flora and vaginal flora, which can be especially important for women who want to conceive or who are pregnant | Take, if necessary, probiotics for 2 weeks. Then don’t take it for 2 weeks. Repeat if necessary. |
| Herbolist Premium Collageen | Collagen works anti-aging. During pregnancy it helps against hair loss | 1 scoop collagen powder a day |
If you don’t get enough through your diet:
It may be difficult to get the right vitamins during your pregnancy. Then it may be wise to start with the pregnancy box. If you use this box, you do not have to take vitamin D and folic acid separately.
This box contains 3 basic vitamins for a healthy pregnancy:
- A multivitamin mama containing folic acid and calcium
- Fish oil, for baby’s brain development
- Probiotics, because the intestines often work less well during pregnancy
which can make it difficult to properly absorb the nutrition. Probiotics help with this. Use it two weeks in a row to give the gut a boost.
