About this product

Pregnancy does not equate to “eating for two” as is commonly stated. In fact, during the first trimester, the body requires no additional kilojoules, a mere 1400 kJ during the second trimester and 1900 kJ in the third trimester. This is equivalent to an extra glass of reduced-fat milk, a sandwich and half an orange.

While the amount of kilojoules you need during this stage of your life may not increase too heavily, the quality of your diet is highly important during this time. Not only does it aid in the development of your baby whilst in the womb, but studies indicate it sets baby up with taste preference for later in life, and can even affect their risk for certain chronic diseases in the future.
