title: Eating your words: getting the right messages across.
abstract: Routine visits to primary care settings give health professionals a valuable opportunity to discuss sexual health with women, but may also be a first step in discussing a pregnancy; planned or otherwise. Since nutrition plays a vital role in any healthy pregnancy, it's a golden opportunity to give advice about good nutrition--both for the expectant mum and for her growing family--to ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy. Dr Frankie Phillips here provides plenty of information about what constitutes a healthy diet during pre-conception and pregnancy. This article discusses the key components of advice regarding nutrition and food safety for pregnant women in the UK.
