I am a dietician based at the Centre for Pregnancy Nutrition (CPN), University of Sheffield. The CPN is devoted to nutritional physiology and public health nutrition in relation to pregnancy and lactation. The national Eating for Pregnancy Helpline and website based at the CPN have achieved considerable success in disseminating education about nutrition before, during and after pregnancy to the public, healthcare practitioners and the media.I have been working in this area for 15 years and really enjoy advising pregnant or planning-to-be women on how to ensure their diet is as good as possible. There is so much information around today - on TV, the internet, newspapers, magazines - that it can be difficult to make an informed choice about whether the latest nutrition headlines are fact or fiction!And there are huge pressures on women today to have all the latest information and advice. I hope I will help you enjoy your food rather than be worried about everything you eat, as pregnancy nutrition is not rocket science, it is simply about eating a varied, healthy diet, avoiding only a very few foods and coping with food-related pregnancy problems such as morning sickness.I have two children who are quite grown up in some ways, both having now finished university but still enjoy a good family feast back at home.
