If you’re someone who has always thought that you’d like to have a baby at some point in your life, chances are that you’ve starting prepping quietly in the background in small ways…even if it’s years off…

• Steady income √
• Stable relationship √
• ‘Spare room’ in your new place √
• Cut back a bit on the partying √
• 
  

I’d like to add one more thing to your pre-pregnancy checklist if I may….

• Gut health in tip-top condition….

Was this on your pre-pregnancy checklist???

Here’s Why Your Gut Health is an Important Pre-Pregnancy Focus

It might seem like two completely unrelated things…what influence could your gut health (and your partner’s gut health) have on your future pregnancy?

Turns out…quite a lot!!

In fact, your gut health, and your partner’s gut health, can impact whether or not you successfully fall pregnant!

Your gut health also impacts your health during pregnancy, which may impact your birth….

Your gut health, and the composition of microbes you host in your gut and vagina, has an influence on the development and composition of your baby’s gut microbiome, which then directly impacts their immune system development!! 

This means that the state of your gut health prior to and during pregnancy can impact the risk of your baby developing chronic disease, and their overall health, later on in life.

You can see why we, here at MothersBabies, find it hard to understand why this information is not more readily discussed in our healthcare system…

One of our greatest wishes is to spread this knowledge far and wide, so that as many people as possible can enjoy healthy, thriving pregnancies and babies! 

Our pre-pregnancy bundle, which includes 3 information-packed modules, is designed to empower and prepare you in the lead up to having a baby, so that you too can enjoy an easy, healthy pregnancy, without having to wade through mountains of fad-driven woo-woo! 

In this bundle, you will gain access to:
Module 2 – Fertility Curiosity
Learn about fertility and genetic testing you have access to, fertility decline, and how to best nurture your body for your future pregnancy.

Module 3 – Gut Health for Future Generations
Learn about the importance of your gut microbiome in fertility, pregnancy, and for future bub’s health.

Module 4 – Pre-Pregnancy Planning
Learn to actively prepare for a healthy pregnancy and make appropriate diet and lifestyle adjustments.

Each of these modules can also be purchased separately.
